Where you live (65)
A comfortable home and a two minute walk down the road to a huge lake with a walking/cycling path around it 
My little dog and I go for a walk down there every morning.
Lovely neighbours, can walk to shops and a five minute drive to the beach

Huge rambling home, 10 min drive to major town , 10 min drive to beach but the only thing you can dip there is your wellies or you get frostbite in your cookies.....My little dog and I go for a walk down there every morning.

I love banana's but why I have to sometimes pay close to $5 a kilo is ridiculous especially because the farmer gets near nothing..I tried Lady bananas bloody tasteless waste of my money...Those banana's are more expensive.

Monkey bananas are the bomb, if you can find them. Lady fingers are pretty nice, if they're produced just right. But the market is for big bland cavendish, and I assure you its nothing like dairy farming, farmers can pay their bills and tread water when they're $4 a kilo in the supermarkets. Terrible places to work though, very heavy on the chemicals, thats why it's mostly backpackers/islanders on banana farms.

Never heard of monkey banana's..Lady Fingers were disgusting no taste..I've only ever tasted Cavendish------ This thread is Archived ------
I'm not surprised, they're not common at all. Maybe a quater of the size of a lady finger, a single bite. Firm flesh, not always easy to peel, very intense banana flavour. My guess is the Hmong people brought them here from Vietnam highlands. Unlikely to be commercially viable, maybe a niche product one day. I could take or leave cavendish myself, wouldnt pay for them.

Well, live in a small village (2000 people) in a peat area. In the past they used the peat for fuel etc. So there are many lakes around here, also a big nature area, and some lovely gardens.
So the nature is great. Unfortunately I live along a busy road and there are way too much immigrants in my street.

Why don't we have what you have?------ This thread is Archived ------
In short, because you don't live in a banana growing region. Closest would be Coffs Harbour, and Australains/Sikhs growing cavendish. Why your lady fingers were not so great, harvested too early as they have a short shelf life and don't ripen all at once. You might find monkey bananas at somewhere like Cabramatta at local markets or something, but I think even then they wouldn't be common.

I'm not going all the way there to be pushed to buy drugs or shot at.My girlfriends took me on the longest train ride to Cabramatta once to buy material..Every corner we were stopped to buy drugs..I nearly had a heart attack a zillion times that day.
