Thanks for the words of encouragement. I won't give up as the plants themselves draw a lot of attention that gives me enjoyment. They are a great transender of race, gender, age, religion and even politics! People are now starting to notice them and ask where they can be bought and I haven't even sucessfully grown a Saba yet. I know when that behemoth gets the care it needs I'll get even more inquiries. I of course tell them they are not for sale but if they'll come by when I'm off I'll give them some. It catches people of guard as most people always want something. I have given away at 50 bunches of collards, mustards and turnips this Winter/Spring and still have some I giving away although you'd have to be a green lover to get them now as they are probably starting to get bitter with all the heat we've had.

Back to the bananas I believe that I'll have better success when as you said the mat developes some age. At least I'm getting some identifications on the various mats that I have. So far I've only had Orinoco bloom but this could be the year.

When you get back we'll look Terry and Alimiley up.
