Each day I scrutinize my banana tree to check out any changes since first noticing the first signs of fruit. A week has gone by and I have definitely noticed progress.
Everyone has advice. Dad reckons cow manure is best dug into the ground approximately one handspan away from the base. Then covered and watered. He's probably right, everything he touches on the plant way seem to grow wonderfully.
But I take the easy option. Any food scrap goes around the base including left over cabbage (some of which have been appearing inside the house courtesy of my naughty dog, mimi), banana skin (seems appropriate) and even mango seeds and skin.
I am salivating at the thought of eating my first home grown banana!
