Bananas and more bananas!

Finally we harvested a big bunch of bananas! There were so many bananas! I shared them with family, relatives, friends and neighbours!

These are balance bananas after sharing with the neighbours!

It's layered in 3 layers!

The banana stocks are ripening naturally! I can smell bananas once enter the kitchen area!

Fully riped bananas! 

The inner part of bananas! Taste so sweet with mild sour taste! What a good combination taste!  

 The trunk was chopped down on weekend and the tender part are cooked! I share the stem with family!

what a useful plant is banana!


Now I have dozens of bananas in fridge. Waiting to be cooked or baked or even eaten raw!

bananas - still in green!

The banana tree is very high. I wonder why it became like coconut tree! The bunch is hanging down. It's very heavy and I wonder how the tree is coping with the weight! 

This is the bottom view! The fruits looked like fully filled but the ripening process haven't completed! No indication of yellow.

If all goes well I will have many fruits to be harvested and given to family and friends!

Banana getting fatter

It's a long wait for banana to ripen. I'm waiting without patient actually!

I have been thinking what kind of dessert I can make with the bananas! It's a long list actually!

Gardening do really teach us a lot of lessons in life! The plants teach us to slow down, value of patient, disappointment at time and happy moment at other time!

what you do with your abundance bananas?

Kangkung

Water spinach or Kangkung in Malay language is very famous vegetable in Malaysia.

Once I had abundance of Kangkung in my little garden. Family members can predict the vegetable dish for weekend cooking! Sometimes i cut them down as it became invassive. Now the bed can hardly produce any Kangkung plant. Not sure why. My attempt do not succeed anymore like those days.

Nevertheless I keep trying. This is my kangkung bed. Grown on new bed. It's not so productive at this stage but I hope it will in near future!

Do anyone have tips in growing successful Kangkung?
