Not a lot of news really. I moved everything back to the greenhouses because I needed the space under the lights for spring propagation (it's nice to have the equipment/space to fool around with in the off-season, but in March production gets serious).

The second pot above looks a lot like the first one now, and because I've been observing strict quarantine protocols with it, it gets to live in the propagation greenhouse:

(Ignore the two seedlings in the near section of the pot. I pushed a couple kumquat seeds in just for fun, since there was so much unused media around the banana.)

The one remaining section of banana in the subtropicals greenhouse is doing some interesting things with the increased light/heat/humidity. I should go snap a shot of it. I also should start thinking about carving up the first pot to produce stand-alone plants. I'm working long hours in the propagation areas these days, but I'll get to it when I can. If the material is suitable, I could start it through the quarantine cycle to produce plants while I wait for the other one to mature enough.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
