First, I doubt if bananas have enough potassium to raise the
extracellular concentration so high as to make a difference in nerve
conduction.  Calcium influx due to capsaicin is, as far as I know (which
may not be state of the art) not lowered by raising extracellular
potassium concetration, the opposite, if anything. Maybe bananas adsorb
the capsaicin? Do bananas contain any fat?

Habaneros (seeds sent by Dave Anderson) doing very nicely indeed,
Charleston Cayenne seem to be a bit slower. All the chilies (including
some which are possibly hybrids between jalapeno and cherry) will be
going outside after May 20.
