Our Blue Java Banana Tree Just Changed Everything - Full Backyard Garden Tour

Full backyard garden tour — come see everything growing on the property right now including wildflowers, blueberries, tomatoes, chili de Arbol, Fried Chicken Pepper, the Beast, Santa Fe Grande pepper, Death Spiral, one Mystery Superhot, Khang Starr Peach Starrkist, three types of grapes, blackberry, raspberry, a long row of asparagus, a field of strawberries and white pine berries, a Bearss lime tree, and a Blackjack fig tree. The highlight of this tour is the blue Java banana tree and its new pup. That pup is going to be responsible for our very first banana crop next year — something I have been working toward for a long time. If you know anything about blue Java bananas, you know why I am excited. This garden started as a crazy idea and has turned into something I am genuinely proud of every single day. If you have been thinking about starting a backyard garden or homestead of your own, just start. You will figure it out as you go. Gardening in Zone 9A Southern Arizona is tough but rewarding. Leave a comment and tell me what you are growing right now. I want to see what everyone has going on.
