Eh the thing I noticed when working in a lawn and garden dept was that true plant people for the most part are really nice, easy-going cool people. (Mostly, you get a few wackos) If the guy is rude to someone he asks for a banana plant from. I would tell him to screw off. I mean seriously. If he treats you like that, how well with that careless attitude of his will he take care of a banana plant. That's how I look at it anyways

I don't believe I've ever had anyone be rude to me when requesting a plant .
When I was a Teenager I raised exotic Pheasants and sold a lot to older guys, I'd tell then just how to take care of the birds and what kind of cage to build , if they did not have the right cage I'd tell then I could not sell them a bird. I always want the guys to come over , listen , pay and go away :-) .
I guess now I'm older and a pretty big guy I have less problems with people than I did then lol .
When I started with Exotic plants in the garden I was helped out by the kind members of UKOasis , I had no money as we were renovating a house from scratch, with a two year old to watch and no power , no water , no sewer. Once I had trading stock I tried to pay all the kind Gardeners back. When coming from France to here last year I was helped just as much by the kind folks here. I would have had just the shadow of a garden last year if it was not for Bananas.org. Gardeners are usually fine generous people, who help out others in need. I often plan to expand my supply of a certain plant only to find I give all the pups/off shoots away , that's just the way it goes.
Many thanks to those who have helped me out this year.
I like helping out deserving Teens with there plant collections as I was helped to learn about stuff I was into by one of my High School Teachers. He helped me learn about Pheasants , to Hunt and Trap and most importantly how to be an active Wildlife Conservationist . As a side note , a lot of the spots I Trapped in are now built on, houses and such , so did the Trapper kill all the Beavers and such or the Bulldozer, the answers clear.
Anyway , Thanks again one and all
Later
Steve
Best wishes
Steve

its just when killing a plant is accident i understand...it happens to the best of plant freaks, but when its done by sheer neglect, that really grips my banana. if you stop and think about all the work and worry you put into a plant, your time and energy..and the person you give it to dosent water it or feed it, after they say i know how to take care of it....it makes me feel like they have killed part of your family. it does me anyway.
