Indianapolis Museum of Art horticulturist Irvin Etienne blogs about his blood, sweat and tears over the 90-plus degree days Hoosiers experienced in June. As usual, Irvin’s take will give us all a chuckle. Here’s a snippet:
“I know to accept the weather. I – know – to – accept – the – weather. Knowing and doing ain’t always in sync. I love my tropicals and summer annuals and this weather is ideal for them. I want big bananas. I need big banana heat. The fact is though, normal June temps of 80 or so are just fine for growing bananas. I’m not freakin’ Carmen Miranda trying to grow a new hat.”
