my Moms flower garden:

as an update all of those banana pstems turned to mush
complete failure
not sure if it got too cold or was just plain too humid in there as i did not check all winter
i will be trying this again but following the recipe and storing them in a root cellar or something similar
on a posittive note i did have a banana (musa basjoo) survive the winter outside under a 1.5 to 2 foot layer of wood chips

forsythia are blooming


the sugarloaf has finished flowering but the white jade still has flowers
