The patio was lawn and I had my neighbor dig down an average of about 12". I then layered 5" of "pug" and then 4" of sand. The flagstone is on average 2 1/2-3" thick which is extrememly difficult to move by yourself. That is why there is so much of a gap in between the stones. Mason, I'm not, so this was the best I could come up with. It serves its purpose, so I guess I am happy with it.
As far as bananas in the ground this past winter were:
Basjoo
Velutina
Orinoco
Ornata
Lasiocarpus
Saba
I am pretty sure that is it for this winter. Will be trying some different ones this coming year...
