I have no idea about bananas, but when our fruit trees get tiny apples or pears or almonds on them, we give them a half-dose of organic fertilizer...
Happy Birthday! Hope it brings you joy and gifts.
Wonderful amount of carrots! Do you freeze or can? We freeze our extras to use in stews or to mix with green veggies. We have a bigger plot than...
Darn! That wrinkle cream just doesn't work.

I'd gently pull the jasmine back to your side and start training it on the wires. If you are careful most of the stems will not break, but if they...
