We visited Como Park and Conservatory ... again. We love this place! It was a wonderfully rainy day, however, not much to do outside. So, we went to the most summery place we could think of.... The tropical gardens! The bananas were in season in two of the gardens... Tropical and the North Garden. As we were walking into the North Garden, we heard a soft squishy "plop" and saw three very ripe bananas on the ground. There was a couple with a stroller in that area and found that the bananas had landed on them. They were looking at the fruit as if it was bird poop. My little bear saw the bananas and knew right what to do....
The couple watched him eat it like he was eating a leftover piece of gum he found under a desk. It was so banana-y and SWEET! Why would you hesitate to eat something you KNEW for a FACT where it came from and how it was grown.. and you wouldn't hesitate to buy it from a store where you KNOW for a FACT it was picked green, handled by dozens of people and traveled in who knows what.
This was cause for more ammo on my part to have a green house installed on the south side of my house.. only...the dimensions just got bigger...
