Bagging a bunch of bananas and cutting down an old stem
These bananas (Dwarf Cavendish) had fattened up sufficiently so that birds were starting to munch on some of the bananas. It was time to bag them up to save the rest of the bunch.
I also had to cut down one of the other stems that formed the worst bunch of bananas we've had yet. I think the long rainy period we had while these were forming might have caused some mould to set in. That bunch really didn't do well.
It's always fun getting the machete out to cut down a banana stem and trying to lower it safely without slamming the bunch into the ground or crushing anything else around.
I like to take a notch out of the front of the stem, then chip away at the opposite side until I can lower the stem down gently. This one almost got away from me as it dropped quite suddenly, but I managed to catch it.
The old stem and leaves get cut up and go into the compost bins.
