That may be why you can't find it there in the UK. I too have been looking for Castor Bean, I would love to have a plant of it underplanted with elephant ears. My Greatgrand Mother use to have such an planting group in her garden and I don't she was a terrorist. - GGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653020388235448819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-9159381238637664732010-04-19T02:49:54.033-07:002010-04-19T02:49:54.033-07:00Dear Gary, I do so agree with you that all the sig...Dear Gary, I do so agree with you that all the significant events of the year become merged as seemingly everything is available year round and, even worse, 24hours a day. This I do not like about England and is so refreshingly different in Budapest where produce is still seasonal, Christmas and Easter are enjoyed at home with the family and the pace of life generally is less frantic.<br /><br />The images I see of your garden convince me that it must be in total readiness for the season ahead. A banana plant sounds most exotic!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
