I got two guys who are now busy plucking mangoes. There are many they said not visible to us. They have already plucked many and hope to get atleast a thousand
They would now have to be kept for ripening.
I am only hoping the rains have not spoilt them.

I will eat them, make fruit juice, distribute and may even sell this time as they are far too many hoping they will not rot.

I wish we get back to this. What is more important than food, shelter and clothing and think it is that order. We can do anything once we have those.I get why these posts are so important.

You are lucky that you could get fresh mangoes from your garden and in fact you have started getting them plucked. I wish I could have some fresh mangoes from the picture.

@allknowing I am sure it would be fun to have ripe mangoes and have a picnic in the backyard.

No, these are only raw mangoes, there are no apple mangoes, as far as I know.

@dpk262006 ah.. maybe there's no specific name for that in your country.. here we call it apple mango because of its red color and it is a mango with a round body like apple..

I do not blame you since you must have been only plucking feathers and so you associate that word with feathers. I not only pluck mangoes I even pluck courage. 
Pluck definition, to pull off or out from the place of growth, as fruit, flowers, feathers, etc.: to pluck feathers from a chicken. See more.

They are green matured mangoes which will be kept for ripening and then they will turn yellow

Not all were plucked today as some are still not ready. But we did manage to sell some and the rest hopefully will get ripe in a few days.
