There is a group of guys in Phoenix who gather to discuss and help each other grow tropical plants. I suppose they have misting systems or greenhouse arrangements to keep in the moisture. They were discussing papayas, mangos and I think banana plants. Interesting plants, it would be cool to have something different to grow and eat. Our repertory of plants is so small, it’s no wonder we are undernourished and overfed.

You can in a sunny window, if they need more humidity, set them on a tray of gravel or marbles, that is what I did with my first orchids. Which went from 3 or 4 plants from Sears to 3 greenhouses.
If I could still garden and move around, I would make the
statement “I would rather have a greenhouse, than a house.”
If your husband is a handy man, build your own, with the new plastics, it is easy and affordable.........I would not buy a kit.
When I started, we used glass panes.
I love them attached to the mobile, and if you can put them on the south, you can make a fantastic solar greenhouse of them, that will pay for itself in year round food and heat in the winter.
The first year in this mobile, I could not cool it off.
The second year, the first greenhouse was up, it only covered about 10 or 12 foot of the mobile, but there was a door that opened into the greenhouse, and with it open, the exact same cooler, cooled the entire mobile nicely.
It is amazing the amount of food one can grow in one.
