Note the long pedicels and the blue-ish skin.
Will do a taste report when they ripen up. |
Nice job!
I have a bunch this size with no fertilizer (other than the Forrest Floor). No watering (other than rain) it is in the back corner of my yard and easily the most neglected banana plant in our garden.
I will post some pics later.
For us the key is maintaining the "Forrest Floor"....layers of leaves, horse poo and wood chippings (all obtained for free, as unwanted byproduct).
