TY! For something I'm not spending on, I'm happy so far. And I've always got my Mom's huge yard to putter around in when I get bored here. She needs help with most of it at this point.

The bananas are a mystery. DH got a couple as a "tip" doing some work at someone's house, and I picked up 2 from a guy selling them on the side of the road (along with tomatoes and a Crinum bulb. He's the only plant store when I drive through that tiny town, LOL!) From what I can tell from reading, w/o knowing what kind they are, I don't think it's possible to get actual bananas here unless we have a winter w/o frost. There doesn't seem to be any that can maintain foliage in a frost, & they definitely turned to mush overnight when we had the 1st frost this past fall.

I decided to put them there because they are deciduous & between the wall of the house & where I drive out of the carport, it's only about 5-6 ft. wide. It's a south wall that should benefit from the shade during summer, hot sunshine is welcome when they're dormant. Won't scratch my car if they really get going exuberantly.

This house is from 1901. It's not easy to fix/maintain things as fast as they need attention.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
