Hello my nickname is smiley,
I'm an electrical engineering major and an avid gardener. i've become interested more and more in edible gardening as then you get to enjoy what you grow. Also with the rising prices of everything i can't see it bad to have ready access to fresh produce all year round. As part of my learning and experimenting i've started to grow tropical plants indoors during the winters here in ohio, i began first with a navel orange tree and i am now up to 4 types of citrus as well as a small clump of coffee plants (about 3 plants total) and now i'm again looking to increase my collection and i've decided i would enjoy having fresh bananas. So now we are into the late spring/early summer and i can grow things outside but i continue to work on my indoor garden as well because i can also keep it outside in the summer. Well that's about all there is to me at the moment.

P.S. i like the banana emoticons
Banana Squishies for all! :rollerbananadone:
