Default First Time Banana Grower ... need some advice

2+ years ago I bought some Dwarf Namwah's and put them in whiskey barrels. They had there ups and down and I thought I killed them a couple times but they always came back around. About a year ago I planted them when we moved into our new house and they took off growing.

At the end of March the first hand appeared on one of the plants. As the second plant started to show a flower it began to fall over. I don't have much space and I'm trying to find the best way to keep this up long enough to harvest.

Questions:

- Should I be fertilizing right now?
- What can I do to keep the plant from falling over?
- When should I begin harvesting?

Thanks so much!
