Waitā¦I see two bananas. Which one do I use for scale? 
Do you have any grapes you could put up there? That would help.

I love Bananas! Especially Fig Bananas. Living in the Caribbean Iāve found out about them. The oneās (Bananas) I grew up on are gone due to a fungus, the Banana producers developed another strain that was resistant. But let me tell you Figs are the best, but the skin is too thin and fragile to ship, you almost have the eat them the day they get ripe.

Weāve lost so many crops to the needs of shipping and shelf life. Our bio-diversity is shrinking and some really good fruits and veggies with it.
Jumping off the soap box nowā¦

IIRC, those are the ones that artificial banana flavor is based on, in case anyone wonders why itās such a different taste.

Please donāt post any more links at me! Proofgrade is a rare commodity on these shores! 
I had a peach tree where it was too cold to grow peaches and what I discovered with this tree was (on a day, by day basis), hard as a rock, hard as a rock, hard as a rock, proof there is a god and s/he/it loves peaches, overripe yuck. Then a winter got it and no more peaches.

OK, I managed to contain myself when the first banana was posted, but if this is going to be a thing I may as well share itā¦ made for my girlfriend last week. It aged pretty well for the first 48 hours - then she ate it. This is also officially the first āprojectā Iāve posted.

Yes as @Jules said, all the points to you, that is super sweet. My wife said if I try to give her anything edible thatās been lasered in anyway sheās going to stop talking to me.
Just off to laser her a selection of fruits as we speak!

Day 2.
I successfully infiltrated a local militia calling themselves āBanana Dawnā. My cover story is I belong to Ensete Ventricosum, they suspect nothing.
Theyāve commented on my size, but I told them my mother was a plantain. I knew we should have used the agreed international scale instead of those blasted callipers.
