I wonder why we people keep on growing plants which are not really suited to our climates, that includes you and I. Since I am from the tropics our plants don't suffer that much, but for the taro we dig them also during the dry season when they don't have leaves and plant again when rain comes. However, bananas are always on the ground the whole year, so i pity yours while they are forced to be dormant in the garage! hahaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-21869839186500208002011-11-18T21:19:12.433-06:002011-11-18T21:19:12.433-06:00Gerhard: I have about 4 times the number of elepha...Gerhard: I have about 4 times the number of elephant ear tubers that are shown in that photo.

Elephant ears and cannas multiply like crazy, don't they?<br /><br />It's sad to see the ravages of the first frost, but if things were pretty and green all year round we probably wouldn't appreciate it as much.<br /><br />Still waiting for our first frost here...Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-33692432330039975582011-11-18T18:10:27.812-06:002011-11-18T18:10:27.812-06:00I was one of those kids that showed up to the bus ...I was one of those kids that showed up to the bus stop with wet hair! I don't remember it ever breaking, but I do remembering hearing and feeling it snap when I bent it. Looking back now, I can't believe my mom would let me leave the house with wet hair in the winter.

A mammoth task I'm sure - and then having to bring them out again in spring. I don't envy you this.<br /><br />The Cannas do indeed look great underground. Wonderful photos!Christine @ the Gardening Bloghttp://www.thegardeningblog.co.za/blog/noreply@blogger.com
