My Papayas are getting less and less from people walking by and picking them from the sidewalk. I'm getting a little annoyed and hoping I will have some left to ripen. Photo taken on Thanksgiving (Nov. 22, 2012).

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. :>)
28 Nov, 2012
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)

I most likely will put some netting around the fruit.

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)

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

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?
2 Mar, 2013
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.

I'll see if it works. :>)
