Calling all South Floridians and whoever else wants to make the flight & drive!

Send me a private message if you would like to take part in the banana chip tasting at Jordan's place in Miami, Florida!
It's scheduled for not this but the next Sunday, June 3rd, 2007.
Beverages will be provided!
Bring your lawn chair!

Jordan and his lovely wife Margaret will be making banana chips from unripe fruit from this bunch! We will not pick the top bananas (the first that will be ripe), but rather, we will be picking unripe bananas from below those to use for the cooking.

Send either jnstropic or myself a private message to RSVP. You must include your phone number! We'll call you to give you directions. It'll be a lot of fun and you'll visit a charming garden that's fit for a king. If there's enough interest, we can even coordinate some plant trading if anyone wants to load up some potted plants. So please also specify if you want to bring plants to trade. Jordan will not be trading as he has too many plants, but I would like to and I hope others will too. There will also be giveaway plants.. various extras and important cuttings.
Let the good times roll!

No!
We will be picking UNRIPE fruits, we're still waiting for this bunch to ripen and a winner will be determined at that time.
We will leave the top friuts alone so as to not interfere with the contest.

What timing! I'll be attending my daughters graduation, out of state, next weekend. It would have been great to meet some of the members, and check out Jordan's place!

June 3rd, eh? Ya'll make sure to examine those bananas very carefully to make sure that there are some ripe ones...I mean to check and see if they have ripened yet!



Sounds like a great time! Wish I could attend, but that's a little too far away for me to travel. I'll be expecting many pictures and details of event!

I hope to be able to attend next time around. I love bananas and the fried plantains are exceptionally tasty! Does anyone has any baby plantain banana plant for trade? I have several types of bananas growing in my garden which I do not know the names of but I know I definately need a plantain so I need some help. Thanks, Jen
