Banana importers bring nanas in on ships to Blighty in a very green condition.
Once landed, the nanas are put in rooms where ethylene gas is pumped in to begin their ripening.
This is one reason why banana boxes have holes in.
Ethylene is a plant hormone which causes every fruit to ripen.
Bananas are great at creating ethylene gas once their ripening process has begun.LOve nanas

Get in touch with the Royal Parks. They've been doing studies around Regents Park trying to work out the best habitat for hedgehogs (as it is the only central London park with a population of hedgehogs). They'll have some ideas.

In other news: all spring onions need is to be put in a glass with an inch of water and they keep growing like crazy.

oo exciting!
I've just ordered a carolina allspice bush and an elderberry bush for my garden along with some rhubarb. Knowing me, when grown, it will end up in some sort of homebrew.

Anyone have a spade I could borrow, or an old one they don't need anymore?
We live in a flat but bought a potted pine tree for Christmas. We've been keeping it watered with a plan to plant it in he neglected park near our flat - wanted it to get milder first.
No idea if it'll sit unobserved long enough to take root, though...

What Vegetables Are Early Planting Vegetables?
Also if I had an allotment I'd be preparing a lot of stuff indoors right now.
I've been dotting the nanas around my greenhouse but I'll give the more enclosed method a bash
