We had a very active rat population a couple of years ago; not only did they eat all the fruit off our nectarine tree (since then removed), they even ate leafy ornamentals like my farfugiums! Fortunately, they've moved on and we haven't sighted a rat in over a year. Before, we saw them scurrying along the fence tops almost every evening. Traps didn't help.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-72861252587872262122012-12-11T08:37:34.965-08:002012-12-11T08:37:34.965-08:00I agree!

And the ones we got are the best we've had in a long while: acidic and sweet at the same time, with a wonderful balance.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-72622110545523825062012-12-11T08:36:20.762-08:002012-12-11T08:36:20.762-08:00I've never eaten a paw paw before but I've...I've never eaten a paw paw before but I've heard they're delicious.

A beautiful color combination! <br /><br />My first Mandarins are ripening on our little tree--must get them wire-fenced and bird netted before the rats and possums figure out they are ripe. That and the Avocados. A reminder how special it is to garden in California.

My tree hasn't produced so I keep threatening to cut it down and get a new one. However, when I'm at the grocery store or produce place, I'll often get a few as a special reward for all my hard shopping. I'm also becoming fond of paw paws even though they're only available for about a month a year through mail order. The flavor is unique. I planted a male and female tree a few years ago and they're now big enough to start fruiting...any year now! outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
