Well my patience paid out after 4 long years of my serious gardening foray. This Cavendish banana sprouted out a bunch of bananas in September last year.
July 2019 is when this photo was taken and the banana tree had taken off after dying in a pot and coming back to life. The minute I planted it in ground it took off and grew
I reckon the chicken had a lot to do with its success
Silly me went and put a raised garden bed around it lol. Now there are 4 suckers growing and I need to remove the garden bed.
Sep 9th 2021 this appeared, it was wonderful to watch each section turn into a hand of banana
I found another wasps nest in the making of that same chilli tree today so I removed the chilli tree
Am very much enjoying your adventures 😃💕
ReplyDeleteOh dear - I hope the bananas ripen up for you - how disappointing to have the tree fall. Sounds as though the chilli treee may have been attracting the wasps.

Oh no! Can you let it ripe on the countertop? I'm not sure if banana does that.
ReplyDeletebanana plants don't live long - a couple of years at most usually. we had several growing in our backyard (full of spiders and cockroaches!) but they would always fall over and die off. nice to have fresh fruit for a bit though :-)
