treeskinThe banana (Musa basjoo) that the guys planted out in the rose garden is already shredded by the winds. It'll perk up in a few weeks. Really.
And, completely unrelated...
In case anyone didn't hear me squeeing about it yesterday evening, my peach tree at home FINALLY has peaches on it. I planted it the first spring we were in the house. It was a gift from my advisor at KSU--a seedling from a white, double-flowered, weeping, white-fleshed peach that her sister was growing. The variety is supposed to come true from seed, and so far, I've seen all the advertised characteristics but the fruit. The first year, the deer ate the tree off just before it bloomed, it didn't bloom the second year, and every year after that it's gotten hit by a late frost just as the peaches were forming. So...cross your fingers and hope for peaches this summer.
