much2say - SmilePie Oh yum! I like the little bit of bite from the radish, but my family won't eat radish - so I won't buy it. I love fresh ingredients in a taco!

much2say - SmilePie Will birds eat apricots ? We don't want to attract raccoons or opossums - or even the rats. The squirrels take our oranges, but a couple bites and they're dropped to the ground - they waste too!
