As the Book says: “Everything happens for a reason.” Just understand I have had a garden since I was in diapers, I like to collect rare things, and I customized almost everything I own. Upon discovery of this Wellspring Gardens discount count code (no longer useful) a spark of curious interest flooded my mind and for a couple days afterwards I concentrated my main focus on how to grow one of my favorite fruits. . . . An after my research I realized I like everything about a banana plant but not all are going to be easy to grow and not all will be to-my-taste. Narrowing down my variety to pick from, Wellspring had a few I recognized as possibly preferable to me. IC Namwah, Manzano, Raja Puri, Williams Hybid, and Dwarf Red were purchase around the end of June 2013. While I waited for my nanas in the mail, my friend Randy gave me one of his “unknown” pups (basjoo?)and the project began! ! ! While getting them and replanting all, I met Bananas.org and found Larry (SSDarkman619) who got me a Gros Michel and Goldfinger TC, and in Nov. got me Veinte Cohol. Still wanting another out-of-the-ordinary I found Mark (Worm Farmer) and he got me the Praying hands corms. While nearing the end of the year I decided to take a chance and grabbed a Blue Java (Official) from Merce3, who got it from Rpmlmnz! Now, I think I got a good start. I’ll keep anything I receive from y’all updated on here. I’m certain I can at least respect the taste of all these bananas to some degree just because I’m actually a dog and I eat almost everything edible; and some of these may not stay in my collection but I will leave all my history with these here.

Alright, so I plan to keep 1 month updates coming!
My mixture for all/each:

1 part local perfect npk “Custom” compost
1 part Sta-Green Flower/Veg garden soil
1 part Nature Naturally Garden Compost
1 part MG Potting soil
1 part K-Gro Premium Potting soil,
1 part Moo-Nure organic Compost
1 part Azomite
1 part perlite. . . Just my scientific experimental ingredients for hopefully the best bananas ever grown. lol *knock on wood*
Each got a 7 gal grow bag (got 25 grow-bags for $12. . . never tried them before!)
All were re-potted 9-8-13.

I guess I might as well throw these Ears in hear too! (They will be part of my experiment for next year; I have other ears but these will be plant around my nanas)

--------------------8-6-13--------------------Ears-----------------------------9-10-13-----------------------------------------10-5-13--------------------

I'm sure some of y'all might have noticed these pictures before but I'm hoping this will be the best way to shows changes from month to month.
AND almost forgot to say: All these plants will be planted in my backyard next year (in the ground). None of 'em dead yet! Wish me luck! GIMME THANKS !
