FINGER LIMES (Citrus australasica)

B A N A N A S

2 more weeks and I think we will be ready to harvest my bananas. I am a bit excited because the bats and possums have seemed to have left them alone. I have been told to harvest now and hang in the garage to ripen which might be a good idea. Banana cake here we come! Recipe below.
