Been Gone so long!

I have been away from here for a long time! I'm thinking I may plant a few Bananas next year! I really miss having them in my backyard.

Re: Orinocos Orinocos Orinocos!!!!

Either one I think would be good!! You will still have to dig them up and store in your Garage I think.

Good Luck,

Orinocos Orinocos Orinocos!!!!

This has got to be one of the "Tuffiest" Banana Plants ever bred!! If you have problems with cold Weather get Orinocos or Dwarf Orinocos!!! They are the BEST!!! :2559:

Re: Best type of potting soil?

I believe most of it is natural stuff. It sure works good with Bananas!

Re: Best type of potting soil?

I use "Jungle Growth Potting Mix". You can get it at your Local "Lowes" store. Have had good luck with it! :)

Good Luck,

Re: My Backyard!

Gard,

I think you are talking about "Barn Swallows" we have them here. Purple Martins will not nest, unless it's in a cavity. I really don't think y'all have "Purple Martins" in Norway!!
