Indian garden part 1 Monkey business protection for mangoes.

Hello, hive gardeners from around the world, greetings. greetings to the beautiful hive garden community. In the northern hemisphere now spring has arrived. But we (my husband Hive account@eolianpariah2 and I) are here in India working hard in our big garden to bring it back in good shape. slowly one by one thing is improving, but now it is high season for cashews so we are very busy with the harvest, saving some for us and selling most (we don't need 60-70 kilos of cashews), after the season ends there are no buyers. that will be part 2.
Also now mangoes are approaching ripeness on one of our trees and our beautiful monkey families come and destroy them. we wouldn't mind if they eat the mangoes properly but they just take a small bite and throw them on the ground. After three years of waiting to enjoy the world's best Alphonso and 100% organic mangoes from our own garden. We have to keep eye on them every day that is our extra duty now. But they are very sneaky, come very quietly, and only after eating mangoes do they make any sounds. Somebody told us to fill plastic bottles with red colored water and hang them on the tree, we tried that. it may have worked for a few days but soon they were not bothered by the bottles.

so I made a scarecrow hoping that might scare them. maybe it did for a couple of hours or even days but...

The water filled in bottles we use normal food color

My husband hung them on a few branches.

It worked out for a few days and they start jumping around again, throwing mangoes here and there.

Here is the leader. after the sour unripe mangoes, he likes the sweet Chikoos/sapotas that are more plentiful.

next try scarecrows

My project is to make scarecrows.
coming soon with an update in the next post, how it will work.

Thank you very much for stopping by.
