    Should you get to eating a home grown banana(!!!) think with virtue of your small ecological footprint. I feel blinded by your emerging halo already. :cool:

    It has done most of its flowering October to begining of May in the banana house which I build around them each year. Because it is so well sealed the flying insects don't get to pollenate, so my bananas are a little under developed. The musa banana is only for ornamental and livestock consumption :( But I do wear a halo for planting 20 new trees in my garden, I think my carbon emissions are more than taken care of :D

    Early May 2006

    Mr Gordon Bennett...What have I been missing these last few days! Still after the chicken poo. In truth I can't forget the horrors of 6X. Antisocial. Even with it I couldn't manage the musculature visible here. Go Banananman!!!
