RE: Our unexpected adventure - Reunion Island 4
Shame about your mango tree. But hey, if you don't try, you'll never know.
Maybe putting a huge thick plastic to cover it during Winter helps (unless it's -40C then you're just s*** outta luck). I've seen people do that with banana trees and it works, even throughout snowy winters.
What's the initiative you are involved in? Drop me some links!
Not quite -40C but yeah, no luck in that area. We have been successful with the banana trees though. Trim them down to the stalk and like you said, cover them with plastic bags. We started with 3 banana trees and now they come back year after year in full force. Must be 50 trees in the backyard. No fruits, simply reminders of tropical paradise.
Funny that you should ask about the initative. Asher is our biggest sponsor! It’s new, the #newbieresteemday initative. I help with what I can by writing a recap of the events. I really don’t know what I signed up for when volunteering to write the recap! But I know we’re helping others and I like that. The link is below.
I had asked Asher if it wasn’t too ‘weird’ if I followed you. No stalkish or hidden motives I promise. I just like your travel blog and sense of humor. I wanted to comment every time he resteemed something but it didn’t feel right. But he was ok with it so here I am. 🙂 You two are a lovely couple.
Btw, if you ever hear Asher complaining about having to pull reports for a gazillion people for his Curation league, yeah, that would be our fault. Lol. Dave is one of our founders and he encouraged many of our newbie members to join Asher’s leagues. I’m not sure Asher knew what he signed up for when he told Dave to “invite all”.

Yes, now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen any bananas growing on them there either... the big leaves are enough to give that exotic feeling.
So I just asked Asher about the #newbieresteemday initiative. That silly fool never told me about it!!! He's involved in millions of different things so it's a bit hard to keep up with him as you can imagine. Steemit is his life right now... there's not much else he does, so the more you give him, the happier he is!
Sounds like you guys are doing a great job helping out the ones who need it the most. And quality posts too! I'll definitely be visiting as often as I can.
Of course it's not weird if you follow me! That's part of the beauty of Shhteemit :)
And please comment as often as you like. Thoughtful comments like yours are scarce sometimes.
Hugs :)
I’m glad that Asher is not the part of the % out there that can make a difference but choose to stay inactive. His involvement in the different activities means he is invested in the growth of this platform and the people. Few take the time to even care.
I believe he made a comment to Dave saying he spent hours replying to everyone and adding our newbies to the Curation leagues. Hehe, we will definitely keep him active for sure.
I look forward to seeing photos from your next destination. I’m stuck in the winter here but can live life vicariously through your travel blog. Oh, I saw the DTube video of the dolphins. Wow! That has to be one of those experiences in life you will carry with you forever. They are such beautiful creatures. I think I would be too scared of sharks to get into deep water but I am envious!
Safe travels! (hugs)
P.S. Thanks for giving your support on the weekly recap. Truly appreciated. 🙂
I’m working on the “recap” part. It’s a bit lengthy. 😬
LOL no worries, i suck at recaps too. You'll get the hang of it as you keep posting them.
