SWAP - Poly notes

[robbiegal]

cheers
unfortunately that mantis is R.I.P.
after the hubby accidently sat on her in the bedroom (think the hubby still feels awful that he killed me little green pal)
she hung in there for a few hours but even with tender loving care from nurse Robbie, alas, just wasn't enough

Amazing little creatures who seem like they are sizing you up for their next meal.!! :dodgy:

oh
do the bottles work?

yeah - the tins or CD's are everywhere in this town on the fruit trees in summer
they look pretty groovy really

No the bottles don't work..well not here anyway and I'd try the CD's but I also have to contend with the bloody bats so i pick my mangos when they just start to get colour, got about half dozen milk crates last year so not expecting as many this year but have to find somewhere to put these two that struck so I wacked them in pots and lookin ok


there's two..well three things that annoy me at mango season and that's rainbow lorikeets, bats and the fact that the bastards take one or two bites and stuff the fruit and move to the next. I wouldn't mind so much if they ate the hole thing and left the others but they don't I find I harvest a lot of things either green or when they just get a little colour :good:

They are Robster, they are :-/ lucky for us they have little mouths eh

[robbiegal]

a lot of the oldies here put a fine netting over the fruit trees

mangoes ripen up ok after being picked a bit green

we bought a electric dehydrator when we lived up north and I'd spend days drying out crates of picked mango for the kids

now here, I use the dehydrator for apricots & apples mostly
I bought one with inner liners & trays as well, so I whizz up the raw fruit add a bit of fruit juice and make fruity chews - anything goes into the mix  

would be easy to do with banana and mango

but it might be a chick thing   (or rather - a mother hen thing ha ha)

the fact that the bastards take one or two bites and stuff the fruit and move to the next.

They do the exact same thing to our figs. Not the persimmons though.. nothing left of those at all. This year's harvest was a big fat zero, and I actually went out and bought some instead.

Sounds like the grandkids to me :laugh2:

Why were you keeping the BC's and EE's? Are they UNC?

[ausjack]

No worries just let me know, BC cause they're consec (both have one fold) and yes the others are in very good nick :good:
