WOW!.... that is all I have got to say... I have more velutinas than I know what to do with... I guess when spring rolls around I will have plenty to give to the community garden.

I checked the plastic bag full o' soil and there are probably another 20 or so germinated and I am sure in the next couple of days there will be plenty more.

I went from 8-10 germinated to over 30 almost overnight. I really had low expectations for growing banana plants from seed because all I have ever heard is "bananas are hard to grow from seed"... that, in my experience is not the case... you just have to have patience.

I am going to try several more varieties but I am going to wait until my new set up gets here in a couple of weeks... check it out

I will post more pics (if and when I remember).
