I wonder how much a fire is? NOT JOKING about the fine for mosquito FINES are the answer to get the people to stop but as stated before nearest police station is 10km away thats not going to happen so meanwhile the people die young .

ripstanley Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wait -- what? Lychee harvest is over? I thought it would last till July. Is there a calendar about what fruit is harvested when? When the farmers think they are ripe. Depends on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a calendar about what fruit is harvested when?When the farmers think they are ripe. Depends on the season. In my initial post i did write THE MAIN PART OF THE LYCHEE HARVEST IS OVER so yes there are still lychees on the trees as we speak,not good for the farmers as the price has dropped drastically in the past week in part due to the Rambutan harvest in at the same time from the South wonder if they burn the leaves and the wood of the Rambutan in the south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
