1000 fingers contest
Jarred has kindly agreed a contest with no prize - just the warm glow of knowing that you were right!! So - how many fingers on the 1000 fingers until the pstem gives up? I know that they will all not ripen - so when the stalk dies is when the contest ends as it is still putting out fruit. At the moment the bunch is approximately 6.5ft long and 3 ft from the ground, the fingers are tiny and VERY tightly packed. If you go over you lose!!

Re: 1000 fingers contest
Good luck everybody. It's a contest for fun, no prize, just bragging rights to say "I won!".. Have fun with it and thanks Cassie for the thread. Nice to hear about the bloom, its satisfying feeling knowing plants that get handed around get appreciated by more and more people and continue to be enjoyed and perhaps grown by still more as time goes by.

Re: 1000 fingers contest
Worm_Farmer has donated 5,000 bananabucks to the winner - thank you Worm_Farmer - I should have thought of that! Lorax has donated 10,000 bananabucks so the winner will be wealthier than their wildest dreams! And if you go over - you lose! Here are some recent pictures and the guesses so far are:- Xavierdlc61887 1 sandy0225 750 CValentine 753 xmoose 863 Blake09 915 bikoro child 942 stumpy4700 945 Mason 950 D & T 990 bob 999 sunfish 1000 lorax 1001 IndianaSue 1033 enigma99a 1050 jrozier 1157 palmtree 1200 saltydad 1229 trevensen 1234 Patty_in_Wisc 1285 kaczercat 1349 buzzwinder 1457 mskitty38583 1492 sirmoebly 1500 Abnshrek 1576 LilRaverBoi 1623 Taylor 1713 Conejov 1739 marenmar 1750 djmb74 1776 briancoconut 1812 Randy4ut 1843 buckeye5755 1856 Moonboy87 1987 Steven Valys 2012 momese 2100 Abnshrek 2120 Ade 2188 Dalmatiansoap 2220 browndrake 2230 r3tic 2300 fishoifc 2430 Simply Bananas 3003 Bch Grl 3200 AltadenaGarden 3430 Scuba Dave 4200 Lagniappe 8.7 million Ok -the game is over and even I can't believe the count!! 3260 fingers and it took us more than 2 hours to count them!! So Bch Grl is the winner and can expect 5,000 bananabucks from Worm_farmer, and 10,000 bananabucks from Lorax. Thanks for your participation everybody!!
