eyup folks,

i'm a newbie banana grower in yorkshire in the uk (zone 8b), just getting my new garden stocked. ive got 1 plant that is in a bit of a sorry state, a few seedlings and some more seeds waiting.

Ensete ventricosa maurellii i currently have in a pot outside untill it gets a bit fitter to go in the ground.

mussa sikkimensis (red), mussa sikkimensis (darjeeling giant) and mussa sikkimensis (darjeeling red tiger) seedlings are all sat near the radiator.

the remaining seeds are in a cool drawer.

Wow, sounds like you're an advanced grower not a newbie. What was your source for the sikkimensis seeds? Sounds like the mix that I've seen on ebay regularly.

've grown a few things before but i'm completely new and addicted to this "tropicana". this is the first year the garden has looked reasonable (it's been a buildiong site for 10 yrs) and it's nice to have somewhere to go again. i've got lots of seeds going this year and lots on my want list but i'm gonna have to wait and see what kind of space i have left before i go splashing some cash about.

they are from ebay, an irish geezer, very helpful.

the site looks great, i'll be reading through it all night.

laters,
