Re: Passiflora
No seeds unfortunately. I planted a bunch and passed on the rest to a nice lady in TX. I'll check out that ebay site again - that's who I got my edulis mix from.

Re: Passiflora
Nice! I'm starting some from seeds - Cotton leaf, edulis mix, and some noids. So far two noids and two edulis have popped up so far. More are starting to emerge, no cotton leaf yet.
I am browsing for...

Re: Passiflora
Tony I really like the bloom on #526 (http://www.bananas.org/f8/passiflora-12826-27.html#post173739). How many Passifloras do you have?

Re: Banana fuel

Re: Best naner soil?
Good on the sand because I don't like using it or buying it on a regular basis. My son tends to steal the bags and use his CAT trucks to dig in them.
Can I add bark? I have a lot to use up.

Re: Aloha :)
Darkman - they really do. You can see them every where, even in containers. I'd like to learn how to propagate one because someone donated one to my Dad's work.

Re: Banana fuel
I have a beach combing book that says washed up jellyfish make really good fertilizer. Lately our beaches have been loaded with jellyfish and jelly bits so I might collect some tomorrow.

Re: Best naner soil?
I have a few questions. I went to repot my Bananas and found my favorite potting soil was left outside. Long story short I now have a gnat nursery in that bag. I have an emergency soil mix made up...
