Hello, Hive community!
It’s me again. For today’s blog, I’ll be talking about our recent harvest experience. It’s not the first time that I’ve harvested our bananas, but this will be my first time sharing the experience with you.
In our yard, we have various kinds of bananas such as Lakatan (a moist dessert banana with a balanced flavor), Saba or Cardaba (a versatile cooking banana that is sweet and tangy), and many more. Each variety brings its own unique taste and use in our home.
Planting bananas isn’t just about enjoying their positive side. Sometimes, we also have to face the challenges like dealing with unpredictable weather, strong winds, or pests that can damage the plants. Still, we continue to nurture them because we know the rewards are worth the effort.
Indeed, the saying “you reap what you sow” is true. This whole experience taught me that it’s the effort that counts and the endless days and patience you pour into planting something in your own backyard. We planted these bananas during the pandemic, and after just a few months, they began bearing fruit. In fact, we had so many that we ended up giving some to our relatives, friends, and neighbors because we couldn’t consume them all.
Up until now, we are still able to enjoy the fruits of our labor. What we like most about this plant is that it doesn’t require constant maintenance. Bananas are not too sensitive to changes in the weather, which makes them easier to care for. They even help keep our backyard cooler and more refreshing.
And as most of you probably know, bananas also bring many health benefits. They are good for the heart, provide energy, aid digestion, and are rich in essential nutrients.
In conclusion, harvesting bananas has been more than just picking fruits from our backyard, it has been a lesson in patience, care, and the joy of sharing what we have with others. It reminds me that with dedication and love, the things we nurture will eventually bear fruit not only for us but also for the people around us.
