Did yours spring up right off the bat, or take several years to get taller, like mine did?

...and I see another new flag leaf outside the window; looks like we might have to open up a roadside stand.

Mine was pretty tall the first time it flowered: 9.5'. The next two times it was 10' and 11'. Then I got rid of it.

Might I interest you in one of my "not-so-dwarf" pups? (got a few that are well established in pots)
The critters are pretty dang prolific.
Most recent blossom is hanging down to around head height.

Thanks for the offer Bob, but I got rid of it for a reason -- there are other varieties that l like better. In fact, I do still have a couple of pups from it in pots, as insurance just in case I changed my mind. It is an excellent cooking banana, but I don't care for it raw on my breakfast cereal -- which is how I eat most of my bananas. Unimaginative? Yes, but it works for me.

That's easy; have some oatmeal for breakfast!

3 ripe 'nanners
1 cup "quick oats"
½ cup chocolate chips
2 [big] spoons peanut butter

mix well, plop spoon-wads onto cookie sheet, bake 15 minutes @ 350°.
Looks like breakfast to me!

Sounds good. I'll have to give that recipe a try!
