Not me when would I rest .My dad loved winter it was his time of the year to look at catalogs and plan his organic gardens for next year .I just wonder how big these will be next year .I think I
should have planted them farther from the pond .But good thing is there roots are shallow and feathery so easy to pull out from all the sand and mulch .

Two of my bananas I left in the pots and they look good. The other I put in ground out front and it is slower to grow cause I think it went threw transplant shock. It's coming nice now but I never see any babies. .. maybe cause my growing season not long enough.

They start having babies only when fertilized every week .You can slow down babies by cutting back fertilizer .I fertilize a lot so I can give away babies

I lost a few this last winter, the rest came back just fine. One pot of them had great looking tubers, but never grew.
