That Papaya is LOADED!
I usually trim off some of the flower buds off when they're setting to provide enough room for each one to properly mature. Those look like the big red variety or something. The leaf stems are purple/red right? Looks awesome. Do you ever get the papaya worm(don't know if they have it on another continent
)? It is a wasp larvae that gets laid in there. I have to paper bag them while they're real small to prevent entry.

I trained a cucumber vine tio grow vertically on a string, until ab out 5' tall.
All fruit set wouldimmediately abort.
As soon as I droppedthat fucker on the ground,
I hada 10" long 3,5" wide Cucumber ready to eat in a couple weeks.
Just referringto how mine responded to climbing, which wasn't well.

Awesome Mugan! I did a 3 Sisters garden last year with corn squash and beans. Cucs were one of my squashs. The beans climbed the corn, but kind of took it over. I ended up making corn tipis. I used 10 ft lengths of 1/2 inch pvc and staked it to the corn green bean stalks. Then brought the tops of 3 of them together and voila`! a tipi. It was pretty cool to smoke in.
I bet you will have a smile on your face the whole time you are eating those delicious vegies.

That tomato looks exactly like my Floradade when it sprouts! I guess they all look alike, but seriously exactly like that.
Nice plots.
