Going Bananas for Bananas.

We have great tropical weather and a nice little garden area in the backyard. I could be more eco and frugal by growing a lot of eatables.

I did try last year. I grew a little bit of rocket (enough for 1 salad) and 2 small cos lettuce were eaten too. Our basil went well but has since died and our beautiful tomatoes all died before producing fruit. Dolly harvested 3 mini carrots from a full packet she planted.

Our passion fruit has grown profusely but not fruited and the paw paw trees have all been non fruit bearing. Either they need some pollenation help from us or they are just the wrong sex to fruit.

However... the garden has lots of banana trees that belong to everyone and mainly cared by Handy D. He obviously has a greener thumb then I. Three bunches were chopped down this week and shared amongst the flats. I love frozen bananas on our hot hot days.

My mum also purchased a food dehydrator this week. She's not particularly pleased with it, but I'm itching to borrow it and give it a go with the mangos and bananas. I'll let you know how I go.

Mary Mary.. How does your garden grow?
