Re: Ae Ae Contest!
My class is from 8am to 5pm in West Palm Beach,
I see you are gonna have a plant swap also. I grow brugmansia(Angel Trumpets), I have close to about 60 or so different varieties. Are they banned in Dade County. At the present time I only have 5 or 6 varieties of banana's, I lost some others that I had last year during a spell with my health. Connie

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
Brugmansias aren't banned in Dade County from what I understand...
Jordon actually grows a few of them that unfortunately bloom only 12 months out of the year.  We didn't have a webcam setup but we had cameras! Sean and Pablo collecting plants Sean and Jordon admiring a Ginger plant. Jordon tending some (gasp) overgrown orchids. Alexis, Pablo, Sean, Jordon, and myself gather for a ritual Ae Ae picking! Jordon, Pablo, Sean, and Jarred We had a great time! Thanks, Jordon! |

Yea it was great to meet you too Pablo and Sean as well.
Hope you enjoy your purple sugarcane! And thanks Jordon as well for the various gingers and orchids, etc. The chips especially and the extra Ae Ae fruits. We're making chips tonight! And Sean, thanks for the Jamaican Red fruits!  They were delicious! Can't wait till next time. |

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
I agree with Mitchel...those top fingers look ripe to me...but I wouldn't really have that much interest if they were or not, lol
 .Looks like a nice time. Wish I could have made it! |

Re: Ae Ae Contest!
I just posted 2 jpgs of the Ae Ae progress. It will be a few more days before the fruit is fully ripe on the top hand. We have been eating the lower bananas as plantains and if we wait 2 or 3 days after picking they will be table bananas. Remember we said ripe on the stalk.
