I was reading about the speakers and trying to figure out what day I wanted to go on! I was telling Ric about it. So far I've gotten a non commital grunt. I was hoping that I'd see something having to do with aquaponics or even hydroponics as then he'd be more interested. Let me know if you think you might make it on the 28th Sam! I'd like to go on the first day also. I'll be the one walking around with the notepad.

Nice to meet you arachnid .. I would love to see your green house!

Deb

Thanks for the pics Arachnid ! Your plants are beautiful !!

Sam my plants are growingggg! I get a new leaf on my saba about 1 every 1*1/2 week.
My Orinocos (2) are growing , but slower than the saba.

I can't wait to see how your basjoo made it through winter also! Ric is only interested in the ornamental nanas that can be perennials and is ok with having to protect them during winter but doesn't have the desire to have fruit like I do. He wants his bath tub back in the winter!
hahaha ...

Good idea to water only half with pond water! I'll do that.

cookie basjoo are suppossed to be hardy to -10 *f. i will be covering mine over next winter. i want the p- stem to stay as large as possible. im running out of room!!!!i have had to bring an entertainment center into my den to fit plants in here. i wish spring would hurry up. i need to get some of my nanas out of here...so i can go buy more! . lol

cookie ...lol. you can tell ric there is a pond he can bathe in and to leave the sacred nana bath tub alone! rotflmao!

hahahahahahah. Mskitty you are a riot!!! Sam do you think you might make it the 28th?


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
