It's been more than a week but what the heck. I was walkin around the garden last week and thought I heard something gasping for breath. I walked around and around the garden until it suddenly dawned on me. My girls were having a hard time breathing and were sayin, dad,dad take this corset off of us and let us breathe. I appraised the situation and decided to remove the fence. This would allow them to spread their arms. HAHAHAHA, I do too many drugs!!! lmao.
So on the up and up. I read in someone elses thread that his plants were getting too tall and how could he shorten them without using an execution device. Well maybe I'm dumb or careless or just wanting to finding an answer myself. Besides I am so lucky that my garden just burst forth like an explosion with no deaths so that if I broke off a branch or two I would not suffer significantly.
This is what I did.
I pinched them. At first I just did a few ends of branches to see if they would recover. HEHEHE they did. So I started pinching large lower branches and laying down atop the garden wall. The TALL papaya plants I pinched down about 18 inches. Below the pinch the next set of branches shoots up just like the video with the babies. Some branches I had to squeeze really hard to get them to collapse and some plants were much tougher than others. Stems were hard, even little ones.
YIPPEE we have flowers!!!!
