I guess you have to go online for the more cold hardy bananas? In the Jacksonville (Florida) area what most nurseries have is the same old same old dwarf Cavenish.

Interesting, I thought you would have more selection there! It’s much easier to grow in Jacksonville vs in our area. But there should still be a lot more online sellers based in your area than ours!

Black Cherry is definitely best left until it's quite deep purple color I think, you can definitely pick them when they're that maroon sort of color too though. I usually just throw them in the bowl and they're pretty deep purple within a few days

Love watching your journey with the chickens. The omlet is having a sale right now and i am considering one. I didnt see a video of cleaning the run. The new pro coop has the option to open the fence underneath. The cube doesn't have that option. How hard or easy is it to undo the fence from underneath the coop to sweep up debris? Thanks in advance!

It’s harder to clean underneath the coop and you also need room to move so we think it’s inconvenient. But it’s definitely a nice option for the model to have that option! We’ll try to get to a video on cleaning the room this fall. Thanks for the request!!

Great review! Maybe it had an effect on the company as they've introduced a new large model that addresses some of your concerns. Just goes to show what happens when informed consumers hold these companies' feet to the fire. This now puts the Eglu at the top of my list (so far) in my preparation to purchase chickens next Spring. Also, I had not thought about the hole spacing of the wire enclosure. Here in Germany mice-r-us! Hardwire cloth would be mandatory. I used it on my diy coop when I was living in the American south, where the biggest concern was snakes, and it worked very well. Again, many thanks, and keep us updated.
