wow! All this time I thought I was all alone in my affliction,but since I found this site I realize there are others out there just like me! Lol I'll never forget when my first banana showed up on my doorstep. Then shortly after there were hundreds of more varieties!! I had to have them all!!!(my poor wife) packages started showing up at the door and she was thinking (what in the world is he doing) but I soon realized it just was not going to be when the little bananas grew into huge plants. But now I am learning you can store them dormant ,so we will see.
