\"blog<\/a>If you ever go on a trip with Roy Danforth, you can count on having trees or fruit or seeds in your car, plane, or bicycle.\u00a0 This return trip to Gamboula was no exception.\u00a0 He gathered all his plants together, and the morning of our departure, he, with the “help”\u00a0of our youngest granddaughter Emrie, rinsed the soil off the roots of each plant and placed them in plastic bags inside a plastic footlocker\/trunk.\u00a0 Some of these plants had been sent from Florida a couple days earlier, some he had brought from California with him, also a couple of days earlier.\u00a0 We labelled the trunk and locked it, praying that the live plants would still be alive when we arrived on the other side of the ocean.\u00a0 As soon as we got to Yaound\u00e9, he opened the trunk and set all the plants up so they could have air, but left them with their roots in the bags.\u00a0 Then upon arrival at Gamboula, his very first task, after greeting friends and unloading the truck, was to get all the plants into\u00a0soil and watered.\u00a0\"blog As of today, more than two weeks later, all his plants are still alive.<\/p>\n
