More summer photos











You can grow banana trees in Seattle. I covered this with a thick roll of insulation and then wrapped it over the winter. We had such a long spell of cold weather in December, that I lost a lot of plants. When I uncovered the banana it was on huge lump of slime, so I cut it all off, but the root was too big to dig up. Instead I covered it with a few inched of soil and within a week there were new shoots coming up. Now I have to continually trim off the shoots so there isn't a whole forrest of trees!!!




Ripe tomatoes in July, last year it was after Labor day before I had a singel one.
