What was this "truly tiny" banana variation?

[jreidsma]

It is kind of hard to find any useful info online about the type of banana it was. But it was very very small, I think they only get about 1-2 foot tall and have a spread of a couple feet or something like that. It is the ideal indoor banana! Atleast for me anyways.

I have found it to be compared with 'little prince' a lot if that helps.

O ya, and your stuff you sent me is doing well ShearMe The sedums are taking off like they are going crazy or something.

I think you wanted some Tom...and JaNan.

Uhhh, unless those were an 'heirloom' variety, and not a hybrid, the odds of getting a similar plant from the seeds may be quite remote.

just sayin'...

Been growing them for 4 years Yug, and they're true.

Do you have any more of these? Would like to try some although my seed starting has been shabby this year.

Truly tiny bananas are my favorite very nice and healthy looking plant!

Mine got to the point where it didn't have the red in the leaves, it was just pure green. I wish I still had it...

Those tumbling trailing tomatoes are like those of mine. I have the Red, the Gold, and the Tiger. They are delicious and I think small enough to grow in the AG because they naturally hang over the edge. Mine are in hanging baskets.

That pepper mixture sure is pretty! You'll be able to take pictures like that of all your pepper bounty soon, Sherry!

I love lavender. I use lavender scented laundry detergent and fabric softener sheets and have a linen spray that is lavender scented. It is supposed to make you sleep better and I need all the help I can get! I may have to get some seeds and try them potted!!!

You might want to try some lavendar as a herb in your recipes. Start with small, maybe 1 inch piece, until you find amount you like. We love the herb and use it a lot in many of our recipes.

That is a good suggestion since many forget and end up with not exactly what they wanted.
thanks

Yes, I do still have some dragon fruit seeds. Do you have anything to swap?

I'll soon have lots of "Hamhs Gelbe" yellow cherry tomato seeds from Germany, for sharing...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

My seed catalogues always come early each year...right after Christmas. Even the seed companies know how addicted I am. I also like to place my orders early so I don't hear the old "sorry, we're out of stock" routine.


It's normal for me to go a little crazy each year with seed orders but this list is ridiculously long. The trouble is though...I want them all!


: )

[jreidsma]

Do you have unlimited room or something!

Don't forget that you are getting stuff from me also Once it warms up I was going to order you stuff form either
Seeds from Whatcom Seed Company - Catalog of Rare, Exotic, Unusual Garden Seeds
or
J. L. Hudson, Seedsman

That is quite a list you have there....

[Bob3]

Does anyone happen to have any paw paw seeds? (from an identified variety, preferably).

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Too funny, Jordan! Nope I didn't forget.


Of course I'm gonna shave some things off this list. I go overboard every year and this is just the beginning.


Ok Bob, are you talking about Asimina Triloba? It's a hardy deciduous tree with 3-5" fruits described as having a creamy strawberry-banana custard flavor?


I can get 10 seeds for 3 bucks. I'll grab them for ya no problem, but not sure exactly when the order will come in. Some of my seeds get here immediately but with some others they make me wait until spring. I'll be placing my order next week, after I condense this list!


Let me know if these are the "paw paw" seeds you want. I'll be getting them from J.L. Hudson in California...my favorite seed company. The fruits are highly nutricious and contain anti-cancer compounds.


: )

[Bob3]

Dang~ Thanks for the offer; I was thinking about looking in my new Hudson catalog too (it's around here *someplace*)
One of my seed customers was just asking about them so I'll just pass along the location.

[The Hollyberry Lady]
