Been awhile since I posted an update. I haven't done much in the way of bar construction since my party...taking a rest after the big push. Anyways, I doubt there is much time left for the bananas to grow since the nights are getting colder here so I thought I would show a photo of my bananas at the end of the season.

Here is a photo when I got them on July 14:

The week I got them, I nearly killed them due to it being too hot and shocking them. So I transplanted them next to the house were they got shade for part of the day and they recovered...I'm sure it stunted their growth by a couple weeks. Here they are today:

I was contemplating digging them up and keeping them inside for the winter, but now I'm leaning toward building a cage around them and filling it with leaves to protect them from the cold. While I've done some research, if anyone in colder climates has some suggestions I'm open to hear your experience.
