Re: Banana fruits have dry scaly skin

I wouldn't put those rascals anywhere near my counter! I don't know what's wrong, but I might quarantine the plant...or remove it.

Re: New leaf suddenly died

If nothing new comes out of the center, this one is toast...chop it out and cultivate the pups that might follow. Or, if no pups, just give this one a funeral and buy another.

Re: Anyone Growing FIELD CORN ?

Somebody please help me here! Field corn is tough and starchy. Should I be asking how one could cook it and make it less like cardboard, or is that the point? You like tough and starchy?
