Hello from the Cape Fear Coast

banana_obsession · 12-30-2008, 07:16 AM

Ah- the internet. There is a group for everyone. I'm glad your here and I'm happy to be here.

I will be heading into my second season of banana growing this Spring. As my user name suggests, I have quickly become obsessed with trying to grow bananas. I love the foliage and can't wait to get to the fruit. I've never had a homegrown banana, but I'm told I will never want another store banana again.

Over the next week I will be fully updating my profile and will add some photos.

Best Wishes to all,
Steven
