Stake your plants

Now is the time to stake your plants!

Last Sunday, the heavy rain came and it became so windy that many of my trees and shrubs were swaying in all directions. Thunder and blackout were next in line. By the time morning broke and I looked outside half the shrub trees were leaning over.

First, we set about rescuing the Papaya tree, which was leaning against the side wall laden with about 12 fruits. We managed to stake it for the sake of the fruits, but after they have ripened and harvested, we will have to take it down. As I write it is holding up for now.
