This is the joy and sense of accomplishment of growing your own food. No one has ever been that excited to buy their bananas at the grocery store.

We buy banana leaves for $ 1 - 2 per 3 sqft in Toronto. They are used to having food and wrapping food. So, you can sell banana leaves. Strips from dried banana stem are used to wave floral garlands for hindus' wedding and worships. The middle raw white stem of banana is used to cook and eat as a food. After the banana flower gives off the bananas, chop the remaining banana flower into very tiny pieces and saute/stir fry them with pepper and salt. It's a good side dish for rice. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up the great job.

I've been following along for a long time. It's really cool that this has been successful. It's a neat project and inspired me to look into doing something similar a couple hours west in Alberta. After pricing out the building and everything I realized very quickly that this isn't a practical solution for anything other than a pet project. I'm still going to follow along but not to be inspired.

This is my first year actually getting fruit on my homestead. Raspberries, blueberries, and even a few tiny apples. These were all planted a year or 2 ago. Hoping to never buy apples from the grocery store again.

Wow soo cool.. Cannot imagine seeing banana's grow in SK.. When you chop the plant, do you take the core of the banana stem and cook with it? Its so yummy, if you have not tried it before, you should.. It can also be juiced, lots of good healthy stuff.. We Indians even cook with the flowers, its a long process but end result is so good.. In South India, we use every part of the banana plant.. :)

Hello. I was wondering if you had heard of the Coolar non-electric solar fridge? It uses no fuel of any kind, just solar heated water. Right now it's being marketed as a way to preserve medicines in remote areas but could be used in an emergency. They have a video on KZfaq from Coolar Tech. Do you think something like this could be DIY'd ?

Seedless aka eating bananas are almost exclusively triploid hybrids (AAB, ABB, ...), as opposed wild-types seeded bananas that are diploid or tetraploid.

I've had my bananas in pots for almost a year in my 12 ft high greenouse. So you're saying they need to be put in the ground to get bananas? I was just going to leave in pots but I do want the fruit. So start digging? 😂
