nobleheart:Some varities do but you will find that most don't. I've got 2 varities brown turkey & mrs williams and they don't need the wasp. But you'll find plenty of wasps around if the fruit is left to rippen as they go for the sweet flesh.

I usually place 3 or 4 seeds in each little nitch. If they all start growing you can thin them out by pulling out the weaker ones..

Foxy Lady: well I dont think so as they say it may go pink :( The lemon takes the real sweet taste of the banana off....I might add that when you boil all that together it gets VERY thick...you spread it like peanut butter...it is that sort of consistency

11. aprill 2005, 08:57:15
