Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Since it warmed up to 87 degrees today in good ol' S Fla, decided to plant AE #2 in the ground. AE #1 went in 2 weeks ago. Now I'm committed - we'll see how the winter goes.
AE AE #2 AE AE #1 Wish me luck. PSL had 4 frosts last winter and I lost all the mature naners. All the mats survived but no fruit for '09. Exceptions were the Hua Moa and the Goldfinger. The Gfingr is hanging about 80 fruit right now and the HM came in in the summer. Dan |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Eric, just a suggestion, but Kaye might not like her last name and address shown in public, so you might want to edit the photo to eliminate it.
Congrats on the seeds; good luck! |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
No problem. Hope those seeds grow for you as fast as they supposedly grow for one of our newer members (a scammer, it seems) who claims on eBay they might germinate in transit!

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
No problem about the info, Eric. We have a website and my name and address are out there. BUT Harvey makes an excellent point about not posting info about others without their permission!! Thanks, Harvey!
The seeds I've sent out were soaked like tomato seeds, allowing them to ferment somewhat so that they could be more easily removed. Then cleaned, they were transferred to a seed sprouter where they were rinsed daily in a distilled water/peroxide solution to hasten sprouting and eliminate infection. I know that a LOT of e-bay and other internet sellers make many false claims to sell their products! But some of the seeds I had were sprouting in the sprouter. I did not send those, but planted them in soil immediately. However I would not have been surprised if some of them did sprout in the few days while they were in route to their new homes. (I did send them in a damp plastic bag so they would not dry out.) I am NOT selling anything on e-bay and never have, although I have made purchases. I know NOTHING about any seller advertising that their seeds may sprout in transit, but I do think it's possible. |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Today I planted one Saba I've had in Large pot for awhile, and two Dwarf Namwas in the same size pots also went into the ground. I also planted two smaller but good sized Kandarians. I planted these near a Thai Black.

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Garden seedlings --- 4 basil, 1 Thai pepper, 2 flat leaf parsley, and 6 assorted types each of tomato and peppers. The basil and tomato were replacements for frost damaged plants.
Things are looking up. Forcast highs for tomorrow and Fri are 80 and 82F. Might try fishing in the Indian river Fri if I can get a line in between all the dead fish and manatees. The water is heating up now and they are starting to rise from the bottom and float. What a mess! Dan |
