There is no way that the stalk can give them anymore as far as I can see because it's just completely bent and broken. But perhaps it would have been time to cut them anyway. I should figure this out.

And now my grandchildren are lucky too although Lily's three only have one grandfather but Boppy is big enough to take on that burden. And so is his heart. Aunts and uncles can be wonderful and very powerful in a child's life. My grands have plenty of those, too!

I'm wondering when I should cut the stalk off. wait til they turn yellow? when they are still green? mine are not the kind of bananas that you pluck and eat. they have to be cooked to bring out the sweetness.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-30930968101524494092019-09-08T12:42:02.716-04:002019-09-08T12:42:02.716-04:00It's funny how farm animals are always depicte...It's funny how farm animals are always depicted so happily in children's books. No one thinks about what usually happens to animals on a farm! (I suppose they're pretty happy UNTIL that day comes, though.)<br /><br />Bummer about the bananas! If the stalk isn't completely severed I bet there's a good chance they'll continue to get ripe. Maybe the tree could be propped back up, even partially?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-28553056411883745392019-09-08T09:16:45.638-04:002019-09-08T09:16:45.638-04:00Living in the Mid-Atlantic, our banana trees have ...Living in the Mid-Atlantic, our banana trees have to be dug up and brought into the garage by November. Luckily we have a very strong grandson who helps with this task--both digging them up and bringing them all in and then bringing them out and replanting them again for summer. They are v. heavy suckers. We put them in large black bags with some soil and periodically water them over the winter. Considering a couple of them have grown to 12-15' high this year, they will be a bit of a challenge for the 10' garage ceiling. We've gotten v. small banana bunches on a couple of trees, but only a few have ripened enough to eat. OTH, the hummingbirds are quite happy to feast off of them.<br /><br />Love the bitty Slothy sleeping bag and pillow you sewed for August. Wonderful that your grandchildren can thrive with you and Boppy--great role models of unconditional love.

I grew up with only one grandmother. I didn't really realize there should have been more, in the natural order of things.

I think that perhaps I grew one tiny one myself and we didn't let it ripen enough. <br />I salute you! <br />And yes, I think that August will indeed play some instrument although you never know- it could be Levon. Jessie said that both boys can make sounds come from trumpets which impresses me greatly.
