I won't be able to get the Saba in without cutting it more than half way down and since it didn't pup I don't want to take a chance leaving it outside. My butterfly ginger didn't bloom.... until NOW. Buds are forming so it'll be a wonderful smelling room. Am going out now to dig up more! I'll be glad when this is done.

OK I'm glad I'm not the only one rearranging a spare bedroom for my bananas, LOL. This all started in a small apartment, where I had a few plants here or there. Soon as we moved into the house, my wife gave me a whole room. Then last winter I expanded so much I gave up my plant room and instead took over the entire garage (and had to get two 1000W halides). This year I had to buy two portable greenhouses AND I need the plant room back - plus I'll keep using the garage.

Needless to say, I've been told "no more plants that come inside for the winter."

So hardy or bust from here on out it is. LOL
