    The bunch of bananas look healthy and matured. Strange, when I resided in DA figs, plantain and the other one which is in patois were not my favorite foods. I preferred ripe bananas.
    Shh! Don’t tell anyone. :lol: One of my brothers would say to me, ‘You like white people food.’ :lol: It was strange. I liked the yams, dasheens and such foods.
    I would eat the green ones but I did not appreciate them. Residing in Canada, I learned to appreciate them and love them. Occasionally I make the ‘fig/banana casserole’ with salt fish. It is delicious.
    There is nothing better and more nutritious than our West Indian soil, home-grown foods. Some of us have to migrate in order to appreciate what we had. The saying, “You never miss the water ’til the well runs dry” – Sparrow’s calypso.

    Dr finger has nothing on this bunch of organically grown banana. After eating that type of fig the only thing to wash it down is a cold cup of lime juice.LOL.squash”.

      @ just looking

      You should not make such a statement. You do not appreciate the foods of the soil. Bananas are healthy for us, not so much rice, macaroni and spaghetti.
      You do not know the health benefits of bananas – figs. Do some research. I read as well, all the way in Canada, that the plaintain has more health benefits than the bananas. I informed some people about it.

      @ Humility

      You really do not have humility. Who are those who gave you thumbs up for such a comment?
      Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. How can you make such a statement that it does not have fertilizer? :twisted:

    That bunch looks like it was produced organically. Is the vine that of babawoule? (the yam, a.k.a. kaplaw?

    Green is my favourite colour. It is the color of the earth and reminds me of peace, serenity, calmnes, harmony and therapy. Thess are just my own way of thinking of, and defining the colour. Memories of childhood, in the garden with my mother. This picture appears so rich in chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is to plants, as melanin is to Africans. We are truly a people of rich colour, just as the plants, vegetables and fruits of nature. One person said that black, or Africans, are like a flower garden with so many different colours.
    Indeed a beautiful picture.
