It's a Saturday. My wife told me that almost one-half of our "caravan" banana bunch of fruits is already ripe. Excited, and I considered it an adventure and another good experience to harvest it which is called in Visaya "magtuba".
Hello, Co-Hivers and friends! In this blog, I'll show you some problems on how to cut a bunch of fruits of ripening bananas without crashing it directly on land to prevent the fruits from breaking. Please come with me to our backyard banana plants.
The Problem
I was excited to see that almost one-half of the fruits of bananas were already ripe. But when I looked at the plant, I was sure that if I cut the stem immediately, several pieces of the banana fruits would crash to the ground and eventually break. It would be a waste. So I looked at the tall stem and looked for a possible solution. Would it be a pole with an attached knife?
But, bamboo pole is not available. So, I thought of another means. Make cuts on the stem for me to step on and be able to climb. It's called in our locality "hakhak". Huh! It's a thrill! It could be dangerous because I had bolo with me. But I tried my best to be safe and to succeed as you can see here.
The Solution
I made it!
Success!
The bunch had just hung and didn't touch the ground. So, it's easy for my wife to cut it from the stem. And my boy backed up his mother.
Tasting the ripe ones.
And finally, on the table...
Cooked in the kettle through steaming
Fried in a pan with cooking oil and brown sugar
That was my thrill of a good experience in our backyard.
I think I need to end here, my dear co-Hivers. Thank you for reading until this part here.
See you on my next blog. Keep safe everyone.
Wow kalami naman sa saging.Hinog sa punuan. My salute to you sr.Super hardworking. Even if you are already a school head you still manage to do gardening and other agricultural activities. You are a true leader not only in school but also in a family, and community as well.
Thank you mam @dehai.The important here is, we enjoy as well. Pawala pud sa stress...
Kalami sa saging Kay hinog gyud sa punuan. Mao ni isa sa akong namiss sa probinsya namo. Magbuhat ug hakhak, ingon ana sab among buhaton sauna para lang Dili madamage ang saging basta taas ang punuan.
Mao pud bitaw akong gihuna-huna mam @aezielove. Sayang man gud kon daghan madugmok or mabuak. Makalingaw bitaw, mam noh? I really enjoyed it. Thank you mam.
Lagi sir. Sayang jud kung madugmok...Makalingaw jud bitaw sir. Gimingaw na jud hinuon ko ug puyo sa probinsya. Way sapayan, sir! Maayong adlaw!
Wow, delicious banana! The province is truly abundant, you can find anything you want to eat in the backyard. I love bananas, especially when they can be enjoyed cooked or uncooked (as long as they're ripe). Thanks for sharing, sir @natsve54. ❤️
Yes mam. I agree, as long as we are diligent and willing to use our time during weekends.Thank you mam @jeannmazing for your feedback.

Yes mam @lovinglymers. I just tried and succeeded. Hehe...but a little bit nervous of falling due to the momentum when the stem breaks with my sharp bolo. Thank you mam.

You're welcome @natsve54, it's well deserved! Congrats on your constant involvement on Hive 😊👍
The beauty of hardwork and the life in the province. Pagkanindot sir!😊
Thank you mam @netswriting. Gipaningut pud ug katkat pero enjoy...😁
Paningot pud kaon sa nilung-ag saging sir. Hehehe
I really enjoyed this publication. We have cambur plants, we love this fruit, it is very versatile, we can accompany it with many foods. We have to do that pruning. This is a great blessing my friend @natsve54
Thank you mam @lisfabian for additional inputs.
Banana Cuee, so tasty. It reminded me how beautiful province life was.
It's true mam @ancrafts. For me, we can enjoy a lot of things here. We can enjoy the fresh air, fresh vegies, and this one- fresh fruits of our own plants. In fact, it also reminds me of my childhood days.
This reminds me a lot of my home province, Leyte. Makamingaw.
Yes mam @mariasalve. Maka-miss gyod bitaw noh. In fact, I enjoy doing things here myself. Unya, naa pa gyod akong mga back-ups...hehe.
Kalami sa saging basta maruyahon or i turonm
Gimaruya namo mam. Hasta gani karon pag abot namo gikan sa school, nagmaruya na pud mi...hehe.lami gyod... Thank you mam @annetimistic.
I love those breed of bananas, its short but sweet too, i never knew it can be fried thou, i haven't tasted fried ones before , those it taste good??
Yes, it really tastes good. In fact, when we have visitors, we serve them with oil-cooked ripe bananas. They enjoy it. Thank you for your queries @fredaig.
Hmmm do you use red oil or groundnut oil to fry the bananas..??
I use any available cooking oil in the market. Honestly, I don't have an idea of the source, which I supposed to do. Thank you @fredaig for giving me an idea about the red oil and groundnut oil. Maybe I have to try both for me to have a comparison of their respective taste.
Hmmmm well am glad you see that as an idea, i'll be trying this recipe soon but I'll use groundnut oil first as experiment
I'd like to try it, too.
Ohhk☺️☺️
What a great solution to cut it instead of getting some and crashing many of the unripe fruits. You are so lucky to have a banana fruit at your own yard. I love bananas when coated with sugar, the bananacue and turon. Hehe. I love saging!
Yes @pinkchic, if you cut half the stem's diameter of the upper one-third of the bananas height, the fruits will not crash on the ground. Thank you for your idea mam.
