Default Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)

I've promised a hand to a friend; the guy who didn't object to me ferreting out 2 pups on our 2nd meeting deserves one. I may not have to worry about having them around too long. 11 lbs only. (I know I cut the flower too soon but bunch was in front of my only rear hose bib and this was a dry summer so I had to water since my pump issue hasn't yet been resolved thus things were curtailed.)

I'm now glad I didn't remove all of the plant hangers in my ceilings. Put a piece of tarp on a shelf, made sure shelf is under bunch in case hook lets go, found a piece of wire I dug up in my yard and fashioned a sling. (I just knew I'd need that someday!)

2 of the 3 that kinda fell off in my hand earlier today.


Obviously this bunch is ready to go--those were green when I picked the others.


Glad this is not a heavy bunch; that plant hook is pretty old and flimsy. But I'm thinking that since mistletoe isn't native to Fl, banana bunches would make a tasty changeup.
