PAPA-PEPPER = NOT AS GENEROUS AS YOU MAY HAVE THOUGHT

Or... "how to give things away without really losing them."

So, Hive account@papa-pepper has given a lot of things away to the steemit community; STEEM, SBD, T-shirts, Garden Seeds, Mugs, STEEM Silver Rounds, and even plants. However, not everything is always as it seems.

HOW TO "GIVE" & STILL KEEP!

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN MYSELF

This is some of the crazy stuff I love about plants! Many months ago, I gave away some Mulberry trees to various steemians. Some I hand delivered, but others I mailed, like the five that I shipped up to Hive account@kiaraantonoviche in Wisconsin. To ship the bareroot plants to her, though, I trimmed off the tops so they could fit in the envelope.

Don't worry, hers are still grew, ans she was very pleased to receive them. However, it is what I did with the tops that I wanted to share with you...

When I trimmed off the tops of those seedlings, I planted them in the soil and kept them damp. Sure enough, they are alive and well! This means that although I "gave away" some plants to another steemian, I didn't really lose anything, because I still have the same plants growing! Don't you just love plant propagation?
