Bananas from the garden to the kitchen

Finally the bananas were harvested last Sunday! They were all still green when we chop the whole bunch but now they have slowly ripening. Turning yellow. I can smell bananas is the kitchen.

 

The trunk was chopped and the inner soft stem was cooked too! They are really juicy and at the best state! 

As usual bananas are shared between friends and neighbours!

Currently I have 5 more green bananas bunches! It will ripe very soon. I'm thinking of banana cake and some traditional dessert like "cekodok" and "lepat pisang"! What else to be made? May be some banana shake!

It's really very useful to have banana tree at home!

GBBD - JUNE 2017

I have been trimming almost all my plants! It's very hot now and many pest making a comeback into the garden. I chase them away by giving all of them a good hair cut. I'm left with few blooms now but the garden look more tidy! ;)

 Costus escaped from the trimming section. They are growing wild at the moment. Some are at my height!

Jack fruits

Two jackfruits are getting bigger!

I wrap them with papers to avoid pest! Hope this will protect the fruits and they will ripe nicely in 1-2 months

Surprise stay....

I have a Fern plant at the corner of my car porch. I trim it sometimes. No other special attention given to this plant. Last weekend there were a lot of bird chirping sound at the corner. I have a lot of visitor birds in my garden. Therefore I was not paying any attention until this Tuesday. I wonder what's happening over there! Everything look so usual.

Everything look so usual

Due to my suspicions feeling, i had a closer look into the Fern, and.... below is what I found! There were 3 little baby birds and a mother bird! How long it should have taken from building the nest, laying eggs, incubation of the eggs, hatching of eggs and so on! I miss all the process!

Gardening need attention. Unfortunately I juggle between work, family and the garden! I must have been so in ignorance all this while. Sometimes beautiful things happen while we are so busy with our life that we miss the chance to see it!

We are so busy running around, we miss the simplest most beautiful things. The cycle of life passes us by, unnoticed, unappreciated. Roz Swartz Williams, The Mourning Chronicles
