This is my first year growing bananas but from what I've read they like rich, well drained soil, lots of ferts and water during the growing season. I ammended my mostly sandy soil with some peat moss, finely shredded leaves, homemade compost, alfalfa meal (fertilizer), and some Soil Moist crystals. After planting, I covered the bed with 3" of hardwood mulch. I plan on adding more ferts as the growing season progresses. Regards, Rokal

Paisley702@sbcglobal.net Hi, mctot99@gmail.com, I too am looking for the pattern for the Take Me Home sweater pattern. My granddaughter and niece are both having little girls, one in June and the other in July and I would love to make them one for their shower in April. If you received the pattern, would you be willing to send me a copy? I am very happy to learn that the pattern is still around and am very grateful to you to consider sharing with me... Many thanks and Best wishes

Let me try to get a couple of pictures uploaded again. (they went 'poof' the last time!) The red spike is a root and will turn woody. It will root anywhere it can find soil - including neighboring pots. This is my K. marnieriana. And here is a pot full of them -

THANK YOU! Looks like I better not plant these! Lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ailanthus_altissima
