A touch of Spring-time Beauty...and a recipe!

I've been enjoying researching more about Quince, as we have quite a few established shrubs near the running shed-- Right now they're in full bloom and it's lovely! I look forward to harvesting some fruit later this year! To encourage fruit, I decided to fertilize it naturally.

Using Bananas as 'Fertilizer'

Bananas are rich in both phosphorus and potassium--these are important macro-nutrients plants need. After cutting/pruning the other surrounding trees back, I raked under the plants, then spread about 5-6 banana peels on the ground. Then I covered them up w/ leaves & dirt to start the de-composing process.

What to do with all those banana's?

~

* Banana Bread *

~

*2 large eggs (I used 3 medium)

*3/4 cup brown sugar

*1/2 cup oil

~
*Then mix in (a heaping) 2 cups mashed bananas

Here's a trick: Using a blender, blend your bananas w/ a little milk until completely smooth before using in a recipe!!
~

Separately, mix together: *2 cups flour, *1 tsp baking soda, *1/4 tsp salt.

Add to banana mixture

~

For extra flavor, *1 tsp ground Cinnamon (!!)

~

Pour in a lightly greased loaf pan or 9x13 casserole pan...Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes (Or until completely done). This recipe can be easily doubled...That's what I'll do next time :)

ohh, this is so good, especially with hot tea *grin*

I do hope you'll try it!
