Pinwheel Re: Can i overwinter my bananas in here?

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES! This greenhouse cost $2000.00. I've been skeptical about the heat cuz its plastic. ive been afraid of what the cold and a heater would do to it. Iam in Ohio and it gets wicked cold here! I looked at another site and they suggested putting a clear swimming pool cover over it, and bales of hay around it to keep the heat in. The cover would be a bit difficult since its huge. But for my nannas I'll do it. Now i have all winter to research this thing and see all what i need! Iam concerned about drafts {henceool cover} I bought this GWhouse a couple years ago. I never really used it to grow plants,But since falling in love with these tropicals I feel now it has a real purpose! I always wanted a GH, and when i saw it, I was like WOW! I figured it would last longer than wood, looks good, roomy. I fiqured i could start seedlings in the spring.
But since meeting the bananas I've been wondering could this thing actually keep them pretty all winter!! Ive really really goneeeeeee Bananas. Iam reading things I wouldnt have thought about 4months ago. These plants have saved my life! I have been on a downward spiral because of events in my world, and when I saw the bananas, they gave me a spark of JOY, I hadnt felt in a very long time. This site gives me something to look forward to everyday!!! The friendly replies, Great Great info, and the beautiful pictures makes my heart glad!
I feel like I came home again. LIke iam waking up! Know what i mean? Did not mean to rattle on, just want to say thanks again to all my Banana family!! Magicgreen
