Day +2265 : The fourth jackfruit

I am fine today.

Daniel and Joseph harvested the fourth jackfruit last week. The harvesting job was done by the maid last time but since we don't have a maid now, Daniel and Joseph have to do it.

The job scope were very clear - Joseph climbed up the tree to pluck the jackfruit with a knife while Daniel stood on the ladder below to catch the fruit with a basin. The fruit was so heavy that it overturned basin, made Daniel fell off from the ladder, and the fruit landed in a dustbin under the tree. It was lucky that Daniel didn't get hurt. Daniel told me later that we need to come up with a better strategy to harvest the heavy fruit.

The fruit looked very nice but not sweet. We have to eat it with honey. I think I should fertilize the jackfruit tree so that the tree will bear a sweet fruit for us :-)





See you next post :-)
