Oh no!

I've been waiting for a few months watching my dragon fruit until it indicated it was ripe (ends of bracts starting to brown). 

I decided today was the day. I held it firmly and had to cut it off.

But when I turned it over...

Something had made a hole in the underside and some clever ants were in it making the most of their beautifully ripe dragonfruit. Oh no! is the polite version of what I thought.

The chooks are now enjoying my first ever dragonfruit crop.
