Ah yup. Tropical fruit is not a big fan of the frost. The varieties I have do like a cold period to trigger the flowering - and by cold I mean < 20c and not frozen. Thinking about some of your winters, frankly it's a minor miracle you have one alive and willing to flower.

Terrible year this year for fruit set in AU. We didn't see rain for the better part of 6 months. But I got a few handfuls of tiny fruit 2 weeks ago.

Feijoa like this one in my experience need consistent water (not too much) during the dry months to flower, flowing after 2-3 years. A reasonable humidity is required for them to set fruit provided you have pollinators. True Guava are a bit different in their requirements - more like a tree.

If you are ever in Perth we can take you to a breeding colony. They don't eat bins here though. Thats a Sydney thing.

No, No that's how they are in Kings Park in Perth. Little bastids will spot a hot sausage or a sandwich in a 5 year olds hand a 1km away and neck it before the kid has a chance to scream.

Depends if its in a bank or into the ground. Mole crickets, spider wasps, lizards, rodents or even marsupials digging for eats = lots of things that could do that. Bee Eaters in my experience prefer river banks and hard packed sand not loose white sand or direct into the ground.

1. Use bulk industrial grade salsa + tortilla "aka salted corn chips" 2. Do not add anything green or fresh. 3. Proteeeeene (cheddar cheese is a good substitute) 4. If the customer pays $5 more add sour cream. Now you know.

Yeah Nacho's are a bit of a lottery here. Usually a good litmus test of the kitchen, they can also be the only thing on the menu that might be food safe.

And she's a vicious territorial bugger too. If one waddles up to you it's not for a snack. It's to eat your fingers. The males are much more pleasant.
