The Choko tree fignts back

[Wombat]

Well folks, the inevitable has happened......

While pruning back the apple tree, I was attacked by a rogue choko !

I was looking up and trimming a branch when the choko fell about 3 metres, hitting me over my left eye - no permanent damage but I now have a headache. So if you are growing chokos upwardly - beware !

glad your ok mate

And if it had been a pumpkin? Dangerous business this growing upwards!

How's the eye today Nev?

P.S. I saw chokos in the supermarket "exotic" section - I think they are called Chayotes here.

Yeah, M3 I'm OK now, just a bit stunned at the time - beaned by a choko, how embarrasing! At least my family was able to derive some merriment out of it

Posting about it in the 'Knock yourself out' section was an inspired choice. No lasting damage I hope.

Growing things is just so dangerous - backache when you grow things at ground level; headache when you grow them higher up. I expect the Health & Safety Executive to come up with a rule that says all growing things must be between 18" and 48" from the ground.

Cheeky choko Nev, hope you are ok. Vegetables can be really dangerous can't they?

[Wombat]

Yep Stew, between mid thigh and shoulder height!

Shiney, who was it that said vegetables are good for you? mine hurt!
