RE: Tuesday is for Trees

Wow! And I thought that there was only a St Lucia here in South Africa. A lovely tropical area in KZN. That island looks fabulous Lady Denise and I am glad that you could get some R&R in.
They wrap the bananas here in hessian cloth, as the cloth can breathe, but I have never seen them spraying the fruits.
Far up north in Tzaneen, a place near where I lived as a child, there are tea plantations, mango trees, avocado trees, to only name a few and all over the place the banana trees can be seen.
Glad that you are back and that you are well my dear friend.
Blessings!

Ha! Well, there you go! I had no idea there was one in South Africa! But, it seems like they are both tropical paradises! It really is a nice island and a place that is so peaceful and the people are full of joy.

I have never seen them spray anything, but, one of the locals says he thought they did. So, not sure what to make of that, but, it surely has lessened my taste for them. :) Banana trees are prevalent here and in the Caribbean as a whole. I just got back and yes! There is no place like home.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hi there kindness, I think it sounds better than (blondie) Lol.
I know that the bananas have to be prevented from bruising each other, but they might be sprayed, as why else would the sell "organic" bananas over here?
Definitely bears looking into as we don't want to eat any sprayed stuff.
Will let you know.
Blessings and thank you for the tip!

Yes. Of course. What WAS I thinking? LOL

I am sure Dagwood called his wife Blondie but I am sure he meant that in a good way. :) It was a comic strip, yes? Let me know what yours are spraying on the bananas!

Same here my friend and very much like you, I also mean everything in a good way. It's the easiest thing under the sun to hurt another, but it is just as easy to rather love and respect another.
So rest assured that when I call you blondie, it is a compliment and nothing else. In fact I like blondes Lol.
Btw. Isn't it about time that you strike the 70 in your rep?

Have a good Friday my dear friend and thank you for the tip.
Blessings!

I knew that too. :)

You would think 70 would roll around for me... but, it is taking its time and honestly, I think I have not been as active being away.

Thank you, always, for being such a kind and caring soul. God bless you, my friend.

Well just know that it is on its way and you certainly deserve it the most of all that I know sunshine. If it was in my hands, I would jump you to 80 Lol.
Blessings!
