After risking life and limb to count the fingers on my rickety wooden ladder set atop a sawhorse table, the final count is 206 fingers. One bunch has 108 and other 98. Pictures are in my gallery. So the winner is Bananimal! Please contact me with your info. And just for kicks I'm offering a free pup of your choice providing you pay for shipping to both 51st state and NANAMAN for being the next closest on either side of the winning guess. Thanks to all you banana nuts for playing!

It's that time again! Win one free pup or rihzome of your choice from the list.

Closest guess without going over the actual number wins.

Hey Mitchel,
Can no one guess a number between 121 and 222? Just an observation as I was feeling my way through the numbers and trying to get a "vibe" on which one is the winner!!! LOL If I am allowed to guess, put me down for 174...
Thanks for the contest, was wondering when one show up....

Mitchel,

Thanks for the good news. Haven't won anything in a while. A Pisang Klotek pup is my choice. Will post pics when it arrives. Now to find a planting site - very little room left. Of course, less grass means less mowing - yeah!!!!!
