This banana tree fell over because the bananas were so heavy.  Our gardener Shacka who usually cuts them for us is out of town, so Brent cut them.  Yes that is a machete he used. 

 The bananas from our Grove are the best bananas we have tasted here in Sierra Leone.  They are big and they ripen and turn yellow.  This is a few that all ripened at the same time.  I share them with the missionaries and make banana bread to give to the missionaries.  Wow that is a lot of bananas.  We counted and there was about 75 bananas.
