Gerths going bananas

Yep, the Gerths are going bananas!

We have banana trees in our backyard. Each tree only produces one bunch of bananas and then dies. When one tree dies, it always begins one or two other shoots.

Then we start to see mini bananas...

Getting bigger...

Finally, when the bunch is so big it almost causes the tree to collapse, we harvest them...

and put them in a cardboard box to ripen.

Then it's time to enjoy our bananas!!!!
