Ron thanks, i have done just what you said. Any empty spot---I put a plant! I have thrown the seeds of canna in the garden to clean up the plant, and voila! Next year i have shoots of canna!
I have left a hosta out of the soil; next spring---VOILA!!! It greens up and starts growing with the lil' bit of soil it has clinging on to it!
Onions are the same.
Ive grown so many plants, veggies, and flowers over the years!
So I am pretty confident about the bananas and other exotics!
But as a newby to the exotics, and my 1st year and winter to growing them.
I have more to learn. THis winter is teaching me alot! And as a newby--It is exciting!
5 more months to go before replanting outside. I can hardly wait!
I wonder how that basjoo is doing all wrapped up for the winter?
Along with its wrappings it has, horse manure all around it, to help the soil.
Next year I'll do like JohninNY and get a remote thermostat so i can see the temp inside the "basjoo'. That should prove interesting and FUN.
