The fruits of my labor LOL

Because of the high prices of commodities that seem forever, I and my sister decided to plant spices, fruits like banana, lemon, and papaya. I am the one planting the papaya and it now bears fruits. See the image here they are the first harvest of the papaya I planted in our backyard 8 months ago.. They are not yet fully riped but I harvested because of competitors, the birds lol. Tomorrow or on Sunday these three pieces of papaya will be fully riped. There is nothing impossible if we only work out what we believe beneficial. The price of papaya here like the size of the papaya displayed here is $4.

@rsa101, there are so many we planted almost 10 papayas. We plan to sell the extra fruits to our neighbors or swap them with vegetables on their yard.

I don't know that papaya is expensive. We also have a papaya tree at home in my province.

@jobelbojel yeah only a very few buy and the fruits got rotten. They better sell in a cheaper price.

@Ronrybs, try to plant onion or garlic in a pot. Also plant spinach in a big rubber pot

@Ronrybs it's easy to plant garlic just one clove. And then it multiples. Use a damage basin. Pour it with soil, water it and plant at least 10 cloves m

@cacay1 Not keen on garlic, but the other two and tomatoes sound a good choice

Yummy papayas. I wouldn’t wait until they ripen. I would have make insalada with them. I planted papayas last year and my nieces were harvesting the fruits already. I hope there will be some papayas for me left from my garden when I go home next year, pohon.

@MrDenata, I was so busy in the previous months. I had a petty problem with my milk tea business. It's settled already.
