How To Protect Your Banana From The Winter Frost.


I have neglected this makan blog in the last couple of months and put it in cold storage since I learned how to use the Facebook. I didn’t know it is so addictive and time consuming to keep up with the continuous postings by the group members throughout the day. Not only I have stopped writing this blog all together, the overgrown backyard has not been tidied since I last saw my banana tree sprouted its first flower. Thanks to my wife constant reminder about saving the fruiting flower before the winter frost takes its toll, I have literally taken a leaf from gardening pages of the villagers in the highlands of Papua New Guinea by wrapping the bunch of forming green banana with its leaves in order to prevent it from the cold. Maybe I just really should get that addiction out of my head and then moved on.  Should I go cold turkey to get rid of my Facebook addiction? I can’t say.  But another issue has come up in my life that I feel a need to get out into the electronic world that connects us all.  Well, to be more accurate, in my Facebook friend’s life.
