K krichardson as per your request from another thread. I know I've shown my plant before. It's had it's ups and downs. When it gets too big I'll trim it back. But have had it since 1992.View attachment 1360868
That's awesome.
 
It was nice out the other day so I finally split my banana plant.

Here you can see the babies all around the base. There aren’t as many roots as I was expecting. I figured it was probably root bound in that small pot, but it wasn’t. I upgraded it’s pot anyway though.

I got five babies off it. I potted the three and the smaller two are going in tanks to see how they do with their roots in water.

what do they taste like compared to store brought bananas?

No idea yet. This is going on its second year so it hasn’t been mature enough to produce yet. I hope I’ll make it happy enough to make some bananas in the future.

In my front yard the Allium Gladiators are standing tall.

I need to get some. They are so cool looking!
Thanks I love them.This is the best they've looked in years thanks to the extended warm weather we have been having.Past springs have been bait and switch with warm enough temps to bring up the flowers and then it would get cold shortly after and kill them off.
Order yourself a few bulbs,I may get a few more.

I’ll have to look through some of my garden magazines for those. I get bombarded with them and keep throwing most of them out, but I have found some bare spots in some of my gardens that need filling. Haha.

They'd be great.I used to get tons of gardening catalogs in the mail but most of them have stopped.
