You have to protect your bananas!

With the jungle all around us, it’s usually a race to the ripe fruit. And let me tell you, the monkeys, birds and squirrels are fast! So we have to take extra measures to ensure that we win some of those races.

Enter: the fruit ripening shed.

In an effort to protect the foods that we grow from the hungry little mouths of the jungle, we’ve recently built a fruit ripening shed. Our guys, Geyler and Jason spend a few days constructing this beauty of a shed. Take a look at the accelerated video to show you:

What needs to go in here?

We are growing a range of different foods that will need to be protected in here so that you will get to eat them on retreat! They include:

? Bananas
? Mangos
? Papayas
? Pineapples
? Water Apples
? Oranges
? Starfruit

Getting to grow our own food like this is such a rewarding thing – and we all reap the benefits! As long as we can keep most of it safe in the ripening shed 😉
