Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 LOL! i feel your pain, Meg. That is exactly how i was with star fruit and mangos in Hawaii. i lived in a house under a huge mango tree on a lot with three other houses. All three of our households could not use up those mangos fast as they ripened. Same with the star fruit tree; when they were ripe there was not enough things to do with them to use them up before they went bad. We would pick as many of both fruits and give them to people in need via mission houses like Salvation Army and food banks . Maybe there is something like that in your area? ~ pt ~ If you can't do it with love and cheerfulness, don't do it at all --- go home. ~ Mother Teresa, humanitarian ~~~*~~~*~~~> , Meg <itszen4me@g...> wrote: > > i have a papaya tree that won't stop.
