| I just finished eating the first Papaya off one of my seed grown Papaya trees. It bloomed months ago in the middle of a Papaya Fruit fly infestation, so I bagged it in a white wax coated bakery bag.
It ripened on the tree, and this is the first tree ripened Papaya I ever had and I can say that it's a world of difference from the green supermarket fruit. This one was still a bit hard, but was sweet and juicy. Funny here, I bought a couple of papaya seedlings before this one was in the ground that also have fruit but this one bloomed and ripened where the others are still rock hard and green.

| I just bagged my last few Keitts with white plastic grocery store bags. Tied them tight. Then it rained hard and water was pooling in the bags so I poked a hole in the bottom So far it has confused and spooked the birds and squirrels...kept them from taking a bite. Old DVDs and CDs might work hung on a mango fruit. The flashing light reflections bother the birds and maybe? squirrels too? |
