They will die in june. Period. Cant take the heat so they got out of the kitchen

FWIW, I have a Daytona & boy! is it ever vigorous - I rarely fertilise or even prune - it's on its own. Sadly tho, possums stripped all the fruit this year before it was even ripe = ( It is a seeded pink variety from a cross w/ muscadines, I believe, so the skins are thicker & puckerish when raw, but flesh is oh-so-sweet when ripe & the skin slips off easily. They don't have that distinctive muscadine flavour either. I use them more for cooking than fresh eating (pies, fruit crisps, etc.) - the skins aren't bitter when cooked. HTH

Treefrog--So, let's talk bananas. You saw my pictures in the blueberry thread. Most of the banana plants are Klunamwa. (That may not be the exact spelling.) They are semi dwarf and do very well in colder climates. The bunches of bananas are small (but not too small) but they produce every year so this is the trade-off. Personally I like smaller bunches because when my Goldfinger gives me a bunch that weight about 40 lbs., that is too much to eat at one time. There is a cold hardy banana I had that produced bananas so small that I dug out the plant. So, the Klunamwa is exactly what you need. I have plenty I can share. We can work out details about that if you want some. Christine

3 years ago I planted a few seed potatoes(beauregard) that I purchased. Had a good harvest that first year, pulled it all up after harvesting. Next spring, sweet potato vines began growing throughout my garden, same thing this year. Am now just harvesting a few large tubers, expecting more (sweet potatoes need about 100 days to mature. White potatoes are more difficult, as they like it cold and don't tolerate excessive moisture/humidity. I've had success planting disease free seed potatoes - early maturing varieties. I ask the producer to send them to me as soon as he can so I can have them planted by Dec. 1. Water at the base and remove diseased leaves frequently. I also keep them out of the hottest, most intense sun - even in the winter, S Florida can be brutally hot. Best luck!
