Default Do these look ready to harvest?

This is my first time growing bananas and I'm not sure if these look ready. The first hand appeared at the end of March.

Bananas here in deep south Florida take about 4 months from the time the first hand appears to harvest. I would not harvest it yet and allow more time to fill out.

In California it takes 6 month or longer to fill in and ripen. I have two bunches of Blue Java hanging right now since September. Usually I wait until I see at least some color change on some fingers.
The fingers on your bunch do not look filled in at all. Be patient.
