The very warm weather this week is brilliant news for the fruit on the banana plant growing in Eastbourne that I talked about recently.Finger-like bananas have emerged which look really healthy so I am hoping they will ripen soon.
Its an amazing site that I see every time I walk to the the Meads.I can’t get over how small the plant is – it actually doesn’t look that healthy but obviously is enjoying perfect conditions at the moment.
If you are having similar success this summer with growing bananas do send me pics to share – any tips and advice on how to get the fruit to ripen would be great as well.

Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
