Silly bananas!

9 years ago

I was going to give away my banana pups, but it seems the larger of them is putting up a flag leaf. Might as well let it stay so I can see what it would be like to have fully-formed bananas. It doesn't matter much about the sun in the courtyard since I'm getting the community garden plot in the fall, and am going to turn this into an ornamental garden, so if these bananas are going to keep producing, maybe I should keep them. Hard to tell, but that little shoot right in the middle is what looks like a bloom coming up.

good luck on your banana.

I've had banana for years but I'm tired of cleaning up after them and space is precious so the bananas have got to go.

Laura, I know what you mean. With so little space, the logical thing was to get rid of them, but I don't need to now.

Glenn, yes, it will. The old bananas are still holding on, though. Not all have ripened, but I'm leaving them to see what happens. The bottom ones did plump up a little, and they taste o.k., but not very sweet. I want to see what they will be like if they ripen in the warm weather. BTW, did I ever send you your butterfly weed seeds? I thought I did, but I don't have it written down. If not, send me your address again and I'll get them out Monday when I got to the PO.
