This is the joy and sense of accomplishment of growing your own food.
No one has ever been that excited to buy their bananas at the grocery store.
Your video offers a fascinating update on the greenhouse banana plantation in Saskatchewan, Canada. The dedication and innovation showcased in growing bananas in such a climate are inspiring, highlighting sustainable farming practices and the beauty of agricultural ingenuity.

You're just like a kid playing in the banana trees. How wonderful! Congrats and good job! 👍👍
Awesome, so excited for your Banana Plantation, ! A great inspiration for us!
We buy banana leaves for $ 1 - 2 per 3 sqft in Toronto. They are used to having food and wrapping food. So, you can sell banana leaves. Strips from dried banana stem are used to wave floral garlands for hindus' wedding and worships. The middle raw white stem of banana is used to cook and eat as a food. After the banana flower gives off the bananas, chop the remaining banana flower into very tiny pieces and saute/stir fry them with pepper and salt. It's a good side dish for rice. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up the great job.
❤love what your family does👍 such a blessing that you share your lives with us, thank you so much, I have learnt a lot from you and also from Nate. Much love for canada’s true prepper’s❤️
Your banana vids always make me smile.
How wonderful . It's so fantastic growing your own food. I love it. Everything tastes so much better 👍😄
Your vids are inspiring me to imagine what can be with work and ingenuity. Blessings for you & your family.
Dean - your bananas are doing awesome - you are going to need a bigger greenhouse for all those plants, lol😂
Whicked love Bananas,the green house omg ❤
Stay tuned, his bananas will need a taller greenhouse soon 😂
Now you just need to grow some coffee in the shade of those bananas!
Satisfying to watch the bananas are healthy and bearing fruits. You are Amazing in taking care of banana plants even under harsh condition. Great job❤❤❤❤
might need to build another green house for all the banana plants you have :)
They do so well on the north side of the greenhouse. Almost dedicating to bananas
Well done
How incredible Dean! You can never have enough banana plants! 😂
we all nerd out with you! way to go
Way cool !
Nice update... going have to build a bigger, taller greenhouse if your wife keeps bringing home tropical fruit for the plantation... $15 is a great price for that size plant too...
That's incredible!
I subbed after you made the recent video on Nate's Bunkie, and I'm glad I did!
Man, I gotta remember to buy some of your smoothie packets at some point 😅
One day i will need to build a greenhouse like this! Amazing. Greetings from zone 8a Germany, also growing some bananas in pots here.
Dairy Queen will come knocking on your door Dean .
Great solar battery video. I'm very close to making it happen.
2 years? Well that's 1 year after Poleve is mopping up Puckhead Trudeau's mess .
I've been following along for a long time. It's really cool that this has been successful. It's a neat project and inspired me to look into doing something similar a couple hours west in Alberta. After pricing out the building and everything I realized very quickly that this isn't a practical solution for anything other than a pet project. I'm still going to follow along but not to be inspired.
It is very practical if the food grid collapses
This is my first year actually getting fruit on my homestead. Raspberries, blueberries, and even a few tiny apples. These were all planted a year or 2 ago. Hoping to never buy apples from the grocery store again.
not bad for sask boy 😉
Fig plant is covered in figs.
Wow soo cool.. Cannot imagine seeing banana's grow in SK.. When you chop the plant, do you take the core of the banana stem and cook with it? Its so yummy, if you have not tried it before, you should.. It can also be juiced, lots of good healthy stuff.. We Indians even cook with the flowers, its a long process but end result is so good.. In South India, we use every part of the banana plant.. :)
Nice. We have tried the flower, stem went to pigs. Need to use more of the plant
@@ArkopiaCZcams The outside of the stem cannot be consumed, it goes to animals or compost but the core of the stem is a thick thingy, it is fibrous but its got amazing health benefits..
So, what you are saying is you built a greenhouse that is way too small?
Hello. I was wondering if you had heard of the Coolar non-electric solar fridge? It uses no fuel of any kind, just solar heated water. Right now it's being marketed as a way to preserve medicines in remote areas but could be used in an emergency. They have a video on CZcams from Coolar Tech. Do you think something like this could be DIY'd ?
Haven’t heard of it
$15 sounds like a fair price to me, it might be a great price I'm not sure, congratulations.
Our first ones were $150. $15 is crazy cheap.
@@ArkopiaCZcams That's great, good for you guys.
Where do you get the banana bees to take care of the pollination?
Bananas don’t need pollination.
Seedless aka eating bananas are almost exclusively triploid hybrids (AAB, ABB, ...), as opposed wild-types seeded bananas that are diploid or tetraploid.
Can you send a sapling or banana to try to plant in mb please thanks
I've had my bananas in pots for almost a year in my 12 ft high greenouse. So you're saying they need to be put in the ground to get bananas? I was just going to leave in pots but I do want the fruit. So start digging? 😂
Or a really really big pot. 👍
Hey would you like papaya plants? I have them about 4 months old and about 5-7 inches tall, plants in Saskatoon.
I appreciate that, but a friend of mine gave us a bunch of plants as well. 🙏👍✌️
Awesome! It made me think of the kid's show Banana Splits theme song (back in the 70's, the link is just to the theme) czcams.com/video/XMl6HnhFFIA/video.html
Which store did you took yours Java Bananas 🍌?!
I’m in Quebec, Canada and I don’t know where I can buy a banana plant...
Thanks ☺️!!!
It was a roadside greenhouse pop-up. Clement farms I beleive she said. 👍. Just lucked out.
@@ArkopiaCZcams thanks 😊!!!
What is the height of your greenhouse?
15 ft max
@@ArkopiaCZcams Thanks! I'm looking into doing a similar greenhouse here in Alaska but I think I'm going to go 20 - 25 feet high. I have access to free steel beams so I might as well use them.
dear lord dean, get some sunscreen on you.
Never 😎 2 days baling hay will do this to a guy
@@ArkopiaCZcams did you get your hay done ?
Nope. Moisture still at 30%. Flipped it 3 times so far, and rained last night again so flipping again, Started baling last night and tested 18%, then started raining. 🤪
Oh you are the climate change farmer from Canada! (I’m joking, don’t block me)
🤪🙃
very cool, I've heard of coconuts in Minnesota so this isn't totally unexpected, but I love to see it!
