Don't worry. Soon enough you won't be able to get out of your house. ;) And your experience will give rise to a new story: The tale about Ante, who started the jungle. :0517:

Ehm, you know Bob,... hm... it's much warmer here, they will ripen easier and faster. :ha:

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

some still look like they aren't, good luck.:lurk:

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Once one on a bunch has ripened, the remainder will ripen indoors in a paper bag within a week.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Not bad? So is that better than store bought? I have a GF and I can't wait till I get some bananas on it. That will be next year but I still can't wait. If they are at least as good as store bought I will be more than happy.

By the way what caused the splitting, does anyone now? I didn't think GF did that.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Even the green ones that did not split while still on the plant,split after ripening .

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Bummer, oh well I am sure they still tasted good.

Orinoco.D.Namwah and Goldfinger

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Orinoco looks like saba, well at least what is labeled as saba in the store here. I wonder if they taste similar?

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

You should know in about a week

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Congratulations!!

How do you cook them Tony, or what is your preferred recipe? :jalapenonaner:

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

I've never cooked one before.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

I harvested the fruit off of my 'California Gold'. See the thread for details.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Congratulations Tony! Do any of your Goldfinger fruit have a "dryish" center? :jalapenonaner:

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

No the texture is even throughout .

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Do you have any friends with Tortoises?

Tortoises love to eat raw banana blooms (we pass them a long to a friend with a rescue reserve for turtles & tortoises).

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

No one I know with a tortoise,maybe I should adopt one.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

We have gopher tortoises here in So Fla -- Gopherus polyphemus.

Many times have come home to see one crossing the street. Carefully drive over or around them then pick 'em up and carry them to the vacant lot they were headed to. They are big and move kinda slow.

Gopher tortoises are known as a keystone species. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission states that the gopher tortoise provides refuge for as many as 350 to 400 species. They live in burrows.



I'll remember to save the banana flowers from now on for these guys. Thanks for the info.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Orinoco's

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

Have you eaten any of the Orinocos yet Tony? If so, how do you like them?

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
 

I ate one it was okay. I think I need to let them ripen a bit more.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
