RE: FruitandVeggiesMonday: Harvesting My Own Homegrown Bananas + How To Ripen Them

Though we pick them green it is nothing compared to the time companies pick them as these bananas will be on the boat for at least a few weeks. When we harvest it only takes a few days in the dark and a bag to ripen them. The benefit of getting them green from the trees is that you can spread harvest and ripening a bit. If you leave them on the trees you will have all bananas at the same time and they will usually be overripe and only usable for smoothies or ice cream. I like to munch on them too. Good luck with the homesteading and if you are ever in Cambodia let us know ;)

I see, that makes alot of sense, one thing I'd love to grow is berry trees, the thought of picking and then freezing my own berries just sounds amazing. Also berries are pretty expensive too, so I think growing the more expensive items can be more worthwhile perhaps. Thank you, I'm not sure I will be, as leaving Thailand in a few days and going to start a fresh in Spain.

Cool... Good luck with the move and new start! Where in Spain. I have so many friends living in Barcelona and Bilbao area. Think berry growing will be a lot easier there ;) No easy in Thailand or Cambodia.

Thank you! Granada. Yes for sure I think so.
