My class is from 8am to 5pm in West Palm Beach,
I see you are gonna have a plant swap also.
I grow brugmansia(Angel Trumpets), I have close to about 60 or so different varieties. Are they banned in Dade County. At the present time I only have 5 or 6 varieties of banana's, I lost some others that I had last year during a spell with my health.

Brugmansias aren't banned in Dade County from what I understand...
Jordon actually grows a few of them that unfortunately bloom only 12 months out of the year.


We didn't have a webcam setup but we had cameras!

Sean and Pablo collecting plants


Sean and Jordon admiring a Ginger plant.


Jordon tending some (gasp) overgrown orchids.


Alexis, Pablo, Sean, Jordon, and myself gather for a ritual Ae Ae picking!



Jordon, Pablo, Sean, and Jarred
We had a great time!
Thanks, Jordon!

I agree with Mitchel...those top fingers look ripe to me...but I wouldn't really have that much interest if they were or not, lol .

Looks like a nice time. Wish I could have made it!

I just posted 2 jpgs of the Ae Ae progress. It will be a few more days before the fruit is fully ripe on the top hand. We have been eating the lower bananas as plantains and if we wait 2 or 3 days after picking they will be table bananas. Remember we said ripe on the stalk.
