Been watching the banana plant in the back yard. In just a matter of 3 days (pictured above), we watched the large burgundy-colored petals peel away from each layer. . .revealing yet another row of bananas!
Just a few feet away was a large stalk ready to be harvested. Our helper Jofrey used the “panga” (local machete) to cut it down, while the neighbor’s helper prepared to catch it as it fell. We then held it in our storage room for 2 weeks, and—voila!—wonderfully sweet, beautifully yellow bananas!
