Bananas 2020!

It's been an epic year for bananas.... with the mild winter, the mats exploded with a zillion bunches.  We have had non-stop ripe bananas for many weeks, and there's no end in sight since there are about 10 "almost ready" bunches still on the plants.

This batch is special, as it's the first REALLY NICE bunch from Blue Ice Cream!  They are not quite ripe, but they look like they'll be amazing.  They're about 6" long and plump.

The other bananas are from various other super high producing banana plants. 

I've had so many ripe bananas, I invented a delicious new recipe:  Use a fork to smash VERY ripe bananas, mix with a little flax seed, freeze it, and slice it into little mini ice cream bites.  No other ingredients, and it's stunningly good!  WAY better than just eating a banana!

Another view of Blue Ice Cream.... not the biggest bunch ever, but wow it's going to provide 40-50 bananas, all ripening within a few days :D
