Just had to share our banana story. We have been a bit excited by the fact that our little banana plantation (3 plants) has produced a bunch of bananas. We had covered the bunch and been watching it for months as the bunch matured and the bananas fattened. Every few weeks I'd wander down to check process. But imagine my surprise, no shock accompanied by choice expletives, when a rat jumped out of the bunch as I lifted the plastic cover for inspection today. I don't like rats - OK dead ones that haven't gone off are not too bad.
Anyway I digress. The short story is that Fiona and I have had to harvest the bunch of nicely formed fruit. We cut off the rat chewed fruit; and have hung the bunch in the garage. It now keeps the 'pumpkins in the hammock' company. So we will see how the bunch ripens. By the way it was a very discerning rat as it knew the bunch was totally organic.
