Trees are turning color and dropping their leaves. We've been flirting with a frost. Probably have until the next full moon, if that's a clear night. But it is time to move the 'Zebrina' bananas indoors for the winter. It goes like this:
This planter is concrete, too large and heavy to move, plus there are two bananas in it.
I have to A) get the bananas out of the pot and B) separate them so C) one can go in this pot
The cats thought this was all very interesting. Here you see Mr Poe checking it out.
And voila! the re-potted banana (after I vacuumed up the spilled-on-the-floor dirt.)
The second banana is upstairs in a slightly too small pot. There is another pot that's moved indoors which has to move upstairs but that will wait for our handyman. It is beyond my abilities, even with a hand truck. The next major horticultural operation will be cutting back and covering the Japanese fiber bananas that live outdoors year-round. Stay tuned for future developments as winter is coming.
