Papaya carica 'Maradol' - Young Maradol Papayas

I hope they don't all get stolen !

Terratoonie:

Thanks. I hope so too! I've always planted my papaya plants in the back yard so they don't get stolen.

Alarms on each Papaya ... it's the only answer ;o)

LOL! Yes, that's the only way. I've seriously though about putting a camera above...and putting a sign which says: smile you're on camera. :>)

YES... that is a good idea ..... why not ?

Even just the sign ...
'Smile you're on camera'

... they'd be worried that they couldn't spot the camera.. Lol. ;o)

Terratoonie:

Yes, I thought of putting a 'smile you're on camera' sign. :>)

Marguerite:

I most likely will put some netting around the fruit.

I'll find out soon.

It is sad they have been stolen before ripen of :(.
But, maybe someone is cooking "green papaya" jam.

Yes, maybe green papaya jam or green papaya chicken (which I love, by the way) :>)

Now that's a recipe... please write it down... I just love kitchen "experiments" :o)

Aleyna:

You can most likely can find a green papaya chicken recipe on-line. It's a Filipino dish...and so, so good! :>)

wow they look huge! much bigger than papaya you see here in the supermarkets

This variety is not too large. My Thai Dwarf variety has giant papayas.

I've been in a bad mood the last couple of days. Someone has been picking my green papayas (on this plant). I need to figure out a way to prevent people on the sidewalk from picking the fruit. I typically grow my papayas in the backyard.

How very annoying, that would make me cross too. You could put a big label on to say this fruit has been sprayed with a deadly chemical? Would that put them off?

Yes, that's a good idea. I may put up a camera...and say: "Smile you're on camera" this may deter people from picking my papayas.

its worth a try!

I'll see if it works. :>)
