Banana trees

Today the banana trees that I ordered from TyTy Nursery in Georgia arrived (bareroot). Got them planted with the help of Ananda and Adinda. Three different varieties: Texas Star, Mysore and Brazilian Dwarf. All three varieties are supposed to withstand cold weather in winter. According to another source the heat here in the summer will not be a problem if the plants get water when they need it. My biggest challenge is to figure out when that is.

Removed the solar cover from the pool, went swimming with the girls. Water temperature was 82 degrees. Felt pretty nice but with air temp in the high 60's we were cold when we got out. I left the solar cover off (at least for tonight). Need to clean the filter so that the auto pool sweep operates better. When the solar cover is on the pool sweep and the skimmer do not keep all of the debris out of the pool as good as when it is off.
