Those pictures were taken over the course of a few days. You can pretty much watch this happen. But now it will take another two months or so, depending on the temperature, for the fruit to fill out and finally ripen. A banana plant takes about 9 months to grow up and produce a bunch of bananas.Then the mother plant dies. But around the base of it are many suckers, little baby plants. At the base of a banana plant, under the ground, is a big rhizome, called the corm.The corm has growing points and they turn into new suckers. These suckers can be taken off and transplanted, and one or two can be left in position to replace the mother plant.t the base of a banana plant, under the ground, is a big rhizome, called the corm.

If you blanch your corn â and it was a flavorful sweet corn to start with â you can probably freeze it for as long as ten months, allowing you to have corn on the cob available pretty much throughout the year. The bottom line is, you are more likely to enjoy your frozen corn if you blanch it first. You can freeze corn without blanching it, in or out of the husk, on or off of the cob. If you want to keep the husk, remove the tough outer leaves, peel back the inner leaves to remove the silks, and rewrap the inner leaves. We are not aware of any advantage to keeping the husks.
Procedure: Husk corn, remove silk, and wash ears. Blanch ears 4 minutes in boiling water. Cut corn from cob at about the center of kernel. Scrape remaining corn from cobs with a table knife. Hot pack â Add 1 cup water to each 2 cups of corn and heat to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to each pint jar, if desired.
