As you can see we have Bananas to keep up with also. Like the pineapples they all seem to get ripe at once . Until we moved to Hawaii I didn’t realize how many different types there are. These are the apple variety. They are much smaller and sweeter that the bananas I remember as a kid in Indiana. It is a good thing that you can eat two or three at a time. That way we may devour them before they go bad . Will try anyway
Here is the proof! A ten-pound beauty that we are currently enjoying. Further evidence that all the effort has paid off. We have given many more away that we have eaten but that is part of the enjoyment.
It’s pineapple time again. Another season of digging ,planting, fertilizing and weeding(believe it or not) has produced more than 50 fruits. We didn’t expect this many, mainly because we had to remove so many old plants last time. I guess we have been doing this long enough to have enough plants at various stages of maturity to keep fruits coming at a steady pace. Already we have eaten two and given 3 away. Giving them away is a must. Don’t want them to go to waste and they always ripen faster than we can eat them. YUM !
