We love our home-grown bananas but dealing with a big bunch is challenging. A few months ago I wrote about ways of making good use of hundreds of bananas at once but here’s a different kind of response to the challenge.
Q. How do you stop all the bananas from ripening at once?
This question came up on a great facebook page for keen backyard banana growers (facebook.com/groups/bananagrowingenthusiasts) and got a lot of useful replies. I have grouped them for convenience and extended them with my own knowledge and further research. So, with thanks to Geoff, Penelope, Lindy and Michael, here we go.
