First Banana

After three months of unseasonably high temperatures the risk of frost has past, it is time to bring out the first of the tender banana plants. Having spent the last six months in the glasshouse its huge leaves have reached the roof, so it has to be carefully maneuvered out through the door.

Once it has been transported to its summer position a very large whole is dug, the banana is then gently lowered into place and watered in.
