We are having a good yield of coconuts

We just have 8 coconut trees and they are all yielding We manure them once a year and use our own compost plus salt.
I planted them as a hobby and now we get to sell coconuts. The only problem is getting someone to pluck them . These guys disappear. At the moment the coconuts are falling and the plucker has still not turned up. The gardener keeps collecting those which are falling
Gardening is not a smooth sailing activity but pros are more than cons
Do you like gardening?

In my area, it is fairly prevalent. There will be coconut trees nearby everywhere you walk. They are highly excellent tree climbers because there are no branches to grab onto when you climb one of their single stem trees, so you have to be skilled.

Here for big farms they have climbing machines but for our needs we just need a climber

@allknowing Oh wow, I have not seen machines that does that. Climbers are common in my place. Most farmers are able to climb those trees with ease. I am no good at that though

The whole myLot community knows you are fond of gardening
We have coconuts but for tender coconuts we must get a plucker and that is the problem here.

@LadyDuck It is a problem and when we have them in our garden we never want to buy them.

@allknowing Those grow so high from the ground, I imagine it's a problem.

They normally at the bottom of the tree and we never get there. Thank you On the contrary we have to be careful when the plucker throws them around (lol)

Yes, I like gardening. We have aloe vera plants and a bay tree in our garden. Sunflowers during the summer.

We had one who was a regular but I understand he took some loan from a neighbour and he is avoiding them.
