planting pineapples

Friends arrived in our anchorage on their yacht and spent a few days with us  before sailing off to explore the rest of Fiji. 

We were still busy planting pineapples and they offered help.

                                             Pineapple planting was on their menu!

Pineapples are easy to grow
                                                - just make a hole and plant the leave tops!

Richie and Shine could not believe it is so easy....

                                                             the fruit however will only be there after 18 months or more !

 We laid the planting holes out in lines...that was probably the most difficult part of the job!

counting tops....dropping tops in holes....cover the holes.....as easy as 1 - 2 - 3

Time for breaks......

...and lunch

Richie was happy with our progress....or finishing the planting for the day!

Heading home into the sunset to where our yachts are anchored in the bay.  Amigo as always in front on the dinghy.

Thanx for the help!!
