All year I watered and fertilized my mango tree. I knocked the bugs off and sprayed each mango lovingly with a home-made elixer of habanero peppers blended in water as a nontoxic pesticide. My mouth was watering as I watched my mangos ripening. So close, so close… Then last week I went outside to see if they were ready and they were GONE! My neighbor says she saw you guys in a green car climbing over the rock wall and stripping my tree of fruit. If you had asked, I gladly would have shared. But now I am looking for you and if I find you, watch out!
