More Green - Help from our friends

Borrowing a statement from one of our travel publications Dokpwe – “ Green is not just a Color but it is a Statement of Mind ”. There are efforts go green & greener. Surfing through your comments on our facebook group DreamCatcher Café, there were many mentions to plant more

If you scroll through the posts, We have SHOOTS, our hand with vegetable farming was successful till our chickens have managed to eat all the leaves. Carrots are the only surviving plant which are been nurtured well. End of harvest, the banana plantation is now a vacant ground, People and Tractors are working the land to plant the next crop to give us the beautiful background.

Friends of the Café Indu and Santosh who frequent the road brought us saplings of theHonge Tree locally known as Honge Mara. We found spots around and the Café and have planted them. Scanning the Internet found many interesting facts on the Hongai Mara,Bio-Diesel, CO2 levels etc, a “Greener” tree.

The Cherry trees are growing fast and healthy, steadily inching to beat the height of our main Café sign board challenging us to find innovative ways to display. Later would be ideal for hammocks in front of the Café………

Wild Elephants in our Backyard

As you all know we have a plantation behind and it is seeing its last days of its harvest. Last Nite about 9:45 the plantation had visitors ... “ELEPHANTS”. We did not see them as they manage to sneak past.

This morning we discovered their tracks and set out on their trail eager to find them. Judging by the tracks we figured there might have been two of them lurking around the area. Guilty as charged for uprooting a few banana plants in the property. They managed to cross the highway to the neighboring plantation and quenched their thirst from the tank. We walked the trail to a near by thicket of the next village and headed back to the Café

The Locals in the area were surprised by the visit as this hasn’t happened in more the 20 years. They suspect the elephants were at a nearby water source Nalluru Aman Kere Jalashya about 4km from where we are from - http://wikimapia.org/#lat=11.845007&lon=76.7030239&z=14&l=0&m=b
