All were placed on a heating pad in the kitchen.

The next batch I will just sow and place in the greenhouse for the winter where, hopefully the temps do not drop below 55 F.

If even half of these sprout, I have plenty of little bananas to spread about the country.
Okay, Bill, gotta ask... Why soak in liquid smoke? Never heard of this before and my curiosity got the best of me...
