Hello Everyone. Been awhile since I have posted in this section. I had posted my garden about 2 years ago but since there have been no updates and well reason being is cause my garden looked all messed up. Didn't help that the neighbors keep getting rats and they jump the fence to eat my more delicate succulents before heading back to there side for the day. I have begun cleaning up my little patch of garden and now in the process of trying to sell off the bulk of my plants.

Well I have made some new purchases one being a Meyers Lemon Tree and a Moro Blood Orange Tree and for my mom I bought her a Chandlers Pummelo Tree. All are well citrus tree so should do good here in this Southern California climate. We use to have an Orange Grove about 3 blocks away where I live now so should do good. Well my mom has always wanted a Mango Tree. I did a little video watching on YouTube and decided it should be easy enough to do and won't cost me a cent. Mango's came from my sisters in-laws friend so Mango and the seed within are free.
My empty 6" pot. I got many of these just empty stored away.
2 Coffee Filter Liners. These I got from my mom. Use to be for her old coffee maker but now we have no need for them so there mine.
Mango Seed. The hairy casing was removed already by me.
2 Coffee Filter Liners to the bottom of the pot.
Now with some soil added. I have allot of soil I bought for my succulents. It's Kellog's Cactus soil just encase your wondering. Far better then the over fertilized junk Miracle Grow sells. Liners keep soil from slowly coming out of the drain holes without need of broken pieces of clay pots. Also prevents bug from making homes inside the drain holes like certain spiders, pill bugs or earwigs.
More soil and the seed on top.
Now to finish filling with more soil.
I then watered it thoroughly let it drain then watered again just to make sure. It drains quickly with it being cactus soil. Now it's in my room and we will see if it takes or not. They say it grows fast sometimes sprouting in under a week with a 4-5" stem coming out in 2 weeks. So can't wait to see what happens.
