Send her over here: maybe an hour with my uniformly unripe ones will persuade here to keep away! I'm expecting enough sun to ripen them while I'm away, which should make them inedibly overripe by the time I get home.

it wouldn't help (none / 1)

she's learned the difference between ripe and green, and knows that green ones are yucky, so she 'helpfully' picks the green ones off and tosses them onto the ground.

sigh.

luckily, they produce so many in california this time of year, that there's still enough to go around. and at least she's excited about the veggies.
