Re: Banana leaves in cooking

Yes... you have to soften the leaves by passing them through fire (at least that's the method we use in our cooking)... whether or not it's necessary, I don't know. We've just always done this to the...

Re: I Think I'm Gonna Cry! :(

Definitely will recover... I've seen them in worse conditions than that and they spring right back. In fact, I remember seeing one toppled over almost like that and it started growing upward!

Re: Plantains

Re: blood banana and pink velvet banana

My Pink Velvets only took about 3 weeks to germinate... but I DID get a low yield. Out of 50 seeds I only got 11 plants. The rest never germinated. I used the baggie method my first try.
