I decided to purchase the seeds for the Dwarf Cavendish Banana variety
due to the fact that I plan on cultivating the plant in a hydroponic environment.
Starting the plant from a soilless media would be required,
due to the seedlings later introduction into a top feed drip hydroponic system.
regards

One time I was overcharged $8. I went back and complained. They recognized the mistake but didn't even apologize. A went a few times this past summer but nothing seemed to have changed. I feel bad because I do like small indipendent businesses ... but I do not like to buy produce that is rotting the day after I have purchased it.

I'd like to think it's an honest mistake by the checker as prices change often, but still it smarts a bit, especially as I'm a good customer. Believe I'll have to give Lenny's a try.

A few items are even the same price as Ballard Market, but the quality is not as good. Though it's a bit further, I go to Lenny's on Greenwood and 105th. I can walk out of there with 2 bags of fruit and veg and will have only paid $10. It's amazing. I find Top Banana a little pricey for a green grocer.
