Here is my mini pony poop factory.

Thank you, those pictures are from my first banana plant that ever bloomed, a banana I had gotten from an uncle on another island and one that I'd been raising for a year, hoping it would flower before I left for college abroad that fall. Turns out it did
Unfortunately I haven't the slightest notion what the variety is lol. I've been told by Rob Guzz and Momese and the like that the visual characteristics seem similar to something in the ABB genome group (think relatively stocky fruit like Namwahs and Orinocos) but they haven't been able to reach a definite conclusion. My parents had to pick this bunch a bit early (while I was still in school) because it was leaning badly and I think had fallen over (they didn't know they would still ripen on the plant lol) so they cooked most of the fingers green, so I'm not sure if they're sweet or not lol.
You have a gorgeous equestrian setup, the local horse farm is one of my favourite places to visit since I always leave loaded with bags of organic goodness
I think before I go back to college in two weeks I'll try to smother the weeds in my garden with a ton of seaweed (which by the way is largely responsible for those many fingers you see, used tons of it before) and then will cover the lot of it with manure and hope for the best
