El Nino Harvest
« on: January 06, 2016, 04:02:57 PM »
You can see Calostros and some Birulas undersized and cracking. Lot's of Sir Prize but undersized because of lack of water during the drought pretty much a disaster. Citrus are fine sweet and normal size. Have a few chocanons and Keitts.

Beautiful Winter harvest! The storms and animals have taken down all my fruit except a lone Maha Chanok.

Parrots and Falcons decided they like cherimoya. A 10lb squirrel has joined them they've  decimated my crop and have also swiped  half of my Navels.

JF, I never heard of birds eating oranges. Did you mean squirrel?

Birds around here eat citrus. Grackles mostly (corvids, similar to crows, but with crazy yellow eyes)

They each take turn eating fruits ...when there are no cherimoyas left they go to the oranges. Flocks of parrots have eaten all of my mom's persimmons and whatever they don't get to the rain and cold nights damage

2lb calostro

Hola JF the harvest looks great, it looks like that Hawk in the first pic. is looking for that ten pound squirrel. In my area the rats and squirrels are the bandoleros that eat anything from mangos to Annonas.

So envious.

So you have no protection whatsoever against those thieves?  Not even on rippening mango?

I'm sure rats are also in it and I seen a possum eating guavas the other night.  It's getting to the point I'm going to have to invest in nets or the critters will clean me out.

Salivating......... 



Definitely sprinkling the neem seed meal in will help against the greedy critters ..
