Excitement filled the air today as we cut off our banana stem. With some bananas already starting to turn yellow, it was time to bring them inside for their final ripening.
The biggest surprise, however, wasn’t the great weight of the banana stem or the number of bananas in total – it was the frog that jumped out and scared us all when we took it inside. It was a Cuban Tree Frog whose pale green skin matched perfectly to camouflage him among the bananas! Sorry froggie, you’ll have to find a new home now.
As the bananas ripen we will share them out with all of the classes. To celebrate our first harvest, each class has been given the challenge to create a special banana dish. I do hope I get to try all the delicious recipes on the Provo Primary Banana Menu!
