Bananamans Hideout

I will get onto it. :( I like the heads. :( They will only fall in my garden as there is too much foliage behind for the wind to carry them over. The birds might play a role though? I don't mind them growing where they are now although I would be impressed if they manage to germinate under the zero light soil they have fallen on. :D

 

you will be surprised where they grow its shadey under my kitchen window !!also i can see lots of new shoots in my dense patch and cant really get at them till september to remove them..i like the heads also but yours must be falling to bits now as mine have ..i had 4 angelicas and have removed the heads from 3 ..the other one will have to come off today.. :(

 

That is fantastic a credit to you, I honestly never thought you could grow banana trees in our country like them, i had them in houston, texas. in pots they never produced bananas for years, my friends still have them and they have produced bananas for the first time last year.
your gardens are something to be proud of enjoy.

Cheers Nathan I'm glad my garden did not disappoint! Always room for more plants. :D drop in anytime your passing.

I forgot to say to your Dad (top bloke ) that the tree place I had my whoppers from was called 'Tree Heritage' based in Hertford. :D

 

Have you come across Architectural Plants, BM? I'm considering using them, and they seem good - but it would be good to know from someon'es personal experience of them, if poss....

 

Hi dendrobium, if you mean these...

I have used their website for reference but I have never ordered from them, sorry.

You have an amazing oasis of a garden and I really enjoyed looking through the pictures. I tried growing a Gunnera in the past and although it lived it didn't flourish. I do have a spare half barrel though and you've given me a great idea there. I presume it is a mini bog garden and you have it lined to keep it moist/damp?

 

BM, absolutely fantastic. I just don't know how you get so much in a limited space. I do agree with you about a private space, I think a garden must be a place where you can lose yourself.
