Help! My bananas are melting…

Okay, my bananas aren’t actually melting but the banana PLANT sure looks like it is!
I think we can safely say in Central North Carolina that Summer 2012 has not been particularly pleasant. Highs just over 100 degrees here yesterday will apparently be followed by the same thing today. Oh goody – the electric company will at least be pleased.
Funny thing is that when I first ordered this banana plant I was most concerned about its “cold hardiness” in my planting zone! HA!
Now I just have to hope I can keep it safe through this blistering summer and then worry about the rest later.
The plant has done very well so far though. This is the 3rd container I’ve moved it to – ever-increasing in size, in just the last two months. I was planning to have it Winter-over either inside or in a sheltered area near the house but since I have no real high ceiling rooms, I may have to stick with the sheltered outdoor arrangement!
Make sure you stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as possible, and PLEASE keep kids and pets out of vehicles unless they are in A/C and watched over by you.
