Sorry you lost the bananas. Tree ripened bananas are the best. We usually don’t get those here in CONUS.
If I ever won the lottery one thing I’d do would be to build a conservatory with real banana trees :)

You have no idea how important this is going to be soon.
I would start now. Just a greenhouse is a start. I’d love to do it and I will ASAP but for now I just got my 3rd hydroponics setup built.
Lets hope this one succeeds ! I’ve been shopping around for different hydroponics solutions to lead me through germ, and I’ve got some cheap plexiglass/plastic betta tanks that I’m going to try to drill, plumb and filter for post-bloom.
Wish me luck ! I’ll post up pics when I get a chance.
OH I’ve also tuned the lights this time.

Bananas are actually a rather hard plant to get to fruit, in my experience anyway. Plus the banana skipper butterflies that lay the leaf roller caterpillar eggs and they are a lot of trouble.
Papaya grows like weeds. As long as the plants don’t get the mosaic virus they produce enough to feed the world with just 4 or 5 plants
