Thanks for the advice on the mangoes...we'll keep everyone posted if we have any success...we have another mango we bought from a grower that seems to still be going strong it its pot till we're where we can put it into the ground for keeps.<BR/><BR/>My husband said he is willing to sacrifice his anonymity for the sake of no longer being "Mr. Robbyn"...ha!...and so I'll be introducing him in an upcoming post. But for the sake of comments, World, meet Jack!<BR/><BR/>There...I'm sure he's feeling better about things already ;-)<BR/><BR/>Maria, yes, Antonio's a mere shadow of my past...I'm quite quite smitten with my hubby.

That mango seedling looks great. If it survives, it might be worth your while to buy a grafted mango and grow that. It should produce fruit within about three or four years.<BR/><BR/>We've grown fruit trees from seed here, but they do take a long time to fruit - like ten years. A lot of gardeners say it's not worth the effort, but I reckon that even if they don't fruit, you'll have a nice shade tree. Besides, gardening should be about experimentation to see what you can grow ... and it's fun to prove the naysayers wrong. ;- )Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627749570719712047.post-50723854509020631872008-04-19T04:15:00.000-07:002008-04-19T04:15:00.000-07:00Great Story.

Alas, I'm married to the whitest white boy for 5 surrounding Midwestern states, and the most exotic thing food-related thing he does is his annual "Taste of the Midwest" summer hotdog grill-off, highlighting the hotdog styles of various regional baseball ballparks. Sexy, si? Allow me to attempt the application of a Romance accent to this: "Pleeeze tr-r-ry dees delishussh Chicagoh-style haute-dawwg, my dahlr-l-l-ing". Mmm, yeaah.ilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772649648781578752noreply@blogger.com
