Mango Maddness

There are several wild mango trees growing on the Pine Jog property that have been producing nice fruit the last few weeks of July. Jonathan has been researching mangos online and driving around harvesting the ripe ones at least once a day. It is best to let them ripen on the tree and pick them before they fall on the ground and get nibbled on by all sorts of creatures.
But how do you reach them when they are way up there?

A paint roller extension pole for painting ceilings with a light bulb changer attached to the end works quite nicely.

This is a photo of Jonathan with the biggest mango harvested to date.


We got a whole jeep load that day.
