Seed It

A competition is on among some seeds in one of my pots. A variety has been sown and I have no idea which seed will be the victor.
In the one corner we have citrus, a good grower and great to make refreshing drinks.
In another corner we have rose of sharon which I have yet to see grow anywhere in any of my pots. The do however make very nice flowers. A real underdog.
In a third corner we have fresh banana seeds. There are a lot of them but since I didn't bother looking up how to plant them I have no idea if they even have a chance. They are wonderful in sandwiches and of course banana pudding.
In a fourth corner there are blueberry seeds. They may like the acid from some of the banana mush that was planted along with their seeds but then it might not keep them going. Blueberry scones are of course one of the tastiest things on earth especially with fresh whipped cream.
may the best seeds win.

Plantains

I have been told many things about cooking plantains but no one agrees which is the best way. Personally I like them fried with sweet seasoning but that's probably because I haven't had them sauteed or boiled or many other ways they have been described to me.
Recently I have been told to buy them green and boil them and eat them kind of like potatoes.

I've tried to grow banana plants before but never with any success, probably because I never got around to putting them in the ground like many other plants that I get from who knows where.

I really do need to remember to plant things in the ground.
EXCEPT FOR THE LILLY! It's lived too long in a pot for me to bear doing anything with it. Who knows what will happen if we ever move. I'll never remember where I planted it.
