Well MsKitty I agree! I'm originally from Ventura,CA and a very adventurous farmer way back when actually bought a few acres of land sandwiched between the 101 freeway on the coast and put in a Banana Farm!!! We had never had them in our area before that. His fruit was so incredible I became determined to raise them someday...........

So yeehaa after 4 yrs we're getting there. Our place is right on a 90 acre lake, our soil is hard pan clay, high water table. We rehabbed a summer house for f/t home, now we have the challenge of the yards. We're on a downhill slope, get the road run off and now we are being faced with the possibility of putting in an aerobic septic system (per county) on a lot that is too small for one.

Ahhhh, bananas................
