This is the bunch of bananas we noticed earlier in the summer. Last year we covered the bunches with blue plastic bags but then didn't realise that they had ripened and lost some so this year we are trying without the protection of the bags.
A couple of days ago we noticed a new bunch forming at the back of the clump.
and then noticed the two flower buds below so, all going well, we should have a good supply. Fingers and toes crossed.

That's great success!
ReplyDeleteYes, we are thrilled with them. Let's hope the weather is kind.
DeleteI would love to have bananas growing in the garden - I have one every single morning as part of my breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI like to have one a day and these are so much tastier than the supermarket ones.
DeleteGosh, that's amazing. We were watching a video recently about how to grow a Banana tree from a Banana. We shall try it and see what happens. We had a dark decorative Banana tree, but it died.
ReplyDeleteThe ornamental bananas look great. I hadn't heard of growing bananas from a fruit but it makes sense as they contain the seeds.
DeleteLook on YouTube.
DeleteI hope the weather is kind and you get to enjoy your own bananas :)
ReplyDeleteWe have our fingers crossed. Last year's were delicious.
DeleteThose trees grow well in Northland.
ReplyDeleteYes, there were plenty of bananas and pineapples at the Saturday market
