I lurk on your channels, but your banana tree strategy made me smile. My dad passed away 3 years ago, and he was the family's green thumb. We're from the Virgin Islands. He had his banana trees planted in a circle with a small pit in the center. The pit would collect water, and as children, we were trained to toss all our organic matter "down in the banana trees." Lol. So from a young age, I'd eat, traipse outside, toss fruit skins, egg shells, etc., into the banana tree pit. Every once in a while, I'd see my dad tossing around the dirt in the pit ... and now, as an adult, I realize it was his compost area!!!! So ... everything you're saying is spot on, at least in the Virgin Islands. We always had the most massive, sweetest bunches of fig bananas to the point that we'd have to give them away. Thanks for bringing up that amazing memory. Good luck on your banana journey!!

The homestead looks fantastic this year! To be honest, I’ve got a bad case of garden fatigue. My garden isn’t growing as well as expected, and sometimes it’s hard to see the successes among the mistakes. But seeing your gardens get better and better each year reminds me that gardening is a learning process and one day my skills will match my expectations. Thanks guys! 🌱

I literally GIGGLED out REALLY loud and nearly choked on coffee when J said “I think that one’s even worse”. Referring to the purple “clown flower” dahlia. Though I could see where the red one might be annoying, the purple one brought me joy. ;-) Fun how we’re all so different. And gotta respect one another, right?! You guys are delightfully silly and entertaining and definitely motivating for me to keep on growing.

I grew up with banana plants in our garden, right outside of our kitchen. My dad regularly tossed things like fish guts and water used to blanching meat or chicken onto the banana plants. We never used any additional fertilizer, just organic wastes from the kitchen, and we always got loads of really good bananas.

Loved the tour! Ignore Jacques - dahlias are grown because they're visually striking, and those certainly are - if they're also whimsical or even amusing that's fine. Here we say "don't plant bananas, they'll take over the area" - there you add compost and fertilizer lol. One hint: axes and saws etc are useless to difficult with bananas. Use a cheap/old serrated knife. I did landscape design and maintenance for a while and a dollar store or flea market one, doesn't even have to be that sharp, cuts through them like they were made of soft cheese. Hint #2 in advance for when it's time to take down full sized trees: start jear the top and work your way down one section at a time - banana trees are mostly water and water is heavy. If you start by cutting down near the bottom it's that much harder when you have to then cut into pieces light enough to move.
