Banana Quixote


The banana plant reminds me of Don Quixote fighting at the windmills. Don't you think? This Banana Quixote attacks the apple tree branches.

By now, the Mama's banana grove ought to be pruned back. The rain and the muddy ground have kept me from doing the job. When it's not raining, the temperatures have been in the 30s in the early mornings. I was going to say that's cold for us, but that's only because we forget from one winter to the next.

Anyway, this year I've learned that icy temperatures burn the banana fronds dry, just like not watering would. Interesting, huh?

    1. I remember your Don Quixote post and the illustration. When I saw my photo, it reminded me of the illustration. Like minds we are.
      The banana grove has always come back. What I need to do is prune off the molted (right word?) parts once the rain has stopped.
