The rain has been nice, bringing the temperature down, but, the
Banana trees were drowning so I dug them up and brought them
inside. Banana roots are a big bulb, and half of one broke off
and doesn't seem to have bothered it. I planted the broke part
in potting soil and a shoot is growing out so I might get
another plant out of it. The others are doing better. They have
a greener color and are growing good. I think I'll keep them
indoors through the winter and see how they are next spring.

The Japanese Timber Bamboo is doing well. This is the northern
edge of they're recommended zone so I hope they make it through
the winter.
