Re: beginner in kansas
Welcome to the org!
 You'll learn a lot here kwik! One thing, when it's cold [like 50's] outside, don't give them very much water or food. The water can cause corm-rot and since they grow very slow when it's cold, the fertilizer can burn the roots. If you need any info, just ask.

Re: beginner in kansas
Hi Tony, welcome to the org from another foreign place. Sounds like you like challenges, growing some bananas there in Wichita! But, where there's a will, there's a way!

Re: beginner in kansas
Welcome from Milwaukee Oldkong! There is a lot you can learn here. And really, alot of it is trial and error. Don't worry about it too much. I have killed as many plants as I have successfully grown.

Howard, I don't have any sunny locations to plant them and Georgia has hardly any rain in the summer, not good for bananas. Rae
