Where have all the papayas gone?

I have no explanation why papayas just disappear from my garden. I have many plants but I hardly see any yield and yet there was a time I had an over load of them. The image that you see are papayas from our garden. I like papayas and since we get them in our garden I just do not feel like buying them even when there are none in our garden.

They must be very expensive since you say they do not grow in your country.

My guess is that nutrients to have abundant papayas had already been depleted in your soil from previous trees, just research what papaya needs in the soil and start fertilizing, just my theory and friendly suggestion.

We have our compost that we use and strangely this year every other fruit has been yielding. I have no explanation.

@allknowing research something that is specific to papaya, compost although a good source of fertilizer ( which I also do) might be non-specific especially if deprivation has already reached a certain high degree for a specific plant, on second thought it might be climate change that we are all experiencing, good luck to you

@louievill But I did get great yields earlier I blame it on nature because it is acting funny these days (lol)

You should not be buying papayas if your garden can produce this good

I wish I had them in my garden. I buy them from the farmers market every week - this morning I had one for my pre- breakfast fruit.

They are indeed a pre breakfast treat. I love them and so far have never bought them. Must check why our trees are misbehaving.

Are yours sweet? I was told that some could be a bit bland. I might have tried some before I think.

Papayas are very expensive. I wish I had them in my garden. I think someone is stealing it from your garden when you're not around.

Our property is well protected. There are no papayas on the trees
