Bananas

After three years, it is still a thrill to see fruits and vegetables that I was not familiar with in the states growing here. Well, I was familiar with bananas but didn’t see too many trees. There are several varieties and the two shown are the most popular. Both varieties look rather funny as they first begin to grow on the tree. The smaller ones are shown on the tree in the first picture. They are a lot sweeter than their bigger brother. The skin does turn yellow when they are ripe. This variety of larger bananas does not turn yellow. So, for me it is difficult when trying to buy since you eat them green. The last bunch I bought from a lady walking her bike with a basket full on the seat. They were definitely too green, because we couldn’t eat them for a week. gail
