My Papaya Story - How To Have Successful Papaya Harvest?

(Edited)

Happy mother's day to all mother here in hive. If you have your mother around, try to give them your love and respect. You will surely miss them one day. Like me, I am longing for her presence to my life.

Anyway, my mother thought me how to be farmer during my elementary grade. They raised us up from the harvest of our farm. When, I got married, I was no longer active in farming since I was living in the city.

When I came Saudi Arabia,that was the time my boss was building this house. I told them to givee enough space for gardening. From that day, I planted many kinds of vegetables. I recalled the procedure of my mother. Like the plantimg of papaya, there is an important way how plant to have fruit abundantly.

Last 2022, I sow seeds of papaya and so lucky that there was only one who grew. I didn't remove it in the place where I sowed it. I supposed to transfer it but I was afraid if it would die. I told the cleaner and my boss not to touch and remove the growing papaya near the wall of the house.

Before I spent vacation, it gave me just a flower and no fruit at all. I realized that it was a male papaya. Then I told my boss to buy seedling of papaya so I could help the older papaya give us fruit. I also cutted the top part of the plant as adviced by my sister and also an idea of my mother before.

When I came back.from vacation last August, I saw fruits but looked like immatured.

How happy I was that I got 12pcs big papaya and they were all sweet. I wondered the first harvest of the 2nd season had no seed inside. Both the two fruit had no seeds.

The last two pieces have a lot of seeds and I only got the seeds in the middle part to make it , I will be a female papaya again. I will sow this next time.

A little bit sadness came to me seeing the papaya without fruit. I am still watering all the plant everyday because of the extr a heat of the sun this time.

There's a new one near the date tree and i has two tiny fruit. I think the variety is not the same. This isy first picture with it and keep on monitoring the development on this tiny one.

Having plants in the desert is not easy but I thank the Lord that we have abundance of water. Imagine, before I came Saudi, the term desert lands made me afraid coming here but so lucky that my boss digged a deep wheel aa the sourse of our water we used for our plants and for cleaning.

This isy story about my papaya fruit tree that I planted here in the desert land.

Thank you for your support and this could be my post for the day!

HIVE ON!
