Easy method to grow your own mangoes in 3-4 years 🥭 

Yes I have planted many apples from seed, purely out of curiosity. I have some low chill apples I can always use for grafting material if they don’t work out 😊

@@dreamsofgreen I'll have to get you a link that reveals that "chill hour requirements" are a myth. A guy in southern California has about 50 varieties producing fruit, many with chill hour requirements over 1,000. He has zero chill winters...often! LOL When people tell me my apples will not grow because of a lack of chill hours, I tell them my apple trees get a lot of chill hours. I follow a process of Stress Elimination, so, every hour I spend in the garden is a "chill" hour. LOL I chill with my plants.

Love it! I hope you will be able to grow lots of mango trees 😊🌱🪴🥭

Wow Anthony!! Amazing story. I can taste that mango! Thanks so much for sharing, Alex 💚🌿

Thank you Sharon! Definitely surround your young mango with pigeon pea and tephrosia for protection. Sometimes if I don’t have grass you can use a wire basket and shade cloth for added winter protection. Mature trees can tolerate a light frost (also have a look around and see if anyone else is growing them in your area?). I say if you eat a few mangoes you may as well try and plant the seed! If you have a north facing slope that’s up a bit higher this may help too. But I’ve planted them all over as insurance if some don’t make it 😁🌱🥭

It’s all about the microbes!

Although girlfriends don’t seem to understand my love of getting my hands in the dirt when they look at my very unmanicured nails in despair…

@@dreamsofgreen They are my flocks and herds. Of course, I do want chickens. As soon as I can grow enough to reliably feed them, and as soon as some trees provide the shade, and protection from the hawks, that they need.

@@dreamsofgreen Your hands look wonderful. I started a yardwork company in 2014 -- Diamond Yardmasters. Here in the desert, where everything either pokes, bites, or stings you, or so they say. I cannot pull weeds with gloves on. I cannot feel when the ground releases them. I cannot get the right grip on them. I watched guys on my crew wear gloves, and they spend half their time removing pokies from them. My hands got tougher, but not rough like a construction workers hands. Also, I discovered that you can pull even pokey weeds without getting poked. There is a skill, or technique, that my hands learned. I also noticed that some things I pulled had something on them, or in them, that actually made my hands numb. And it was most helpful! LOL But, mostly I have noticed that all the plant matter getting on the skin actually conditioned it. My hands are hard, but smooth. I love it. I have moved bricks and rocks around with my hands, and they rip the skin and make hands rough. That is nasty. LOL Well, I was scrolling for a continuing education video as that is the part of my work day I am at, when I saw your red dot. I suppose I'll watch another of your videos for my continuing Ed. today. LOL

I’ll swap you some mangoes for some cherries and hazelnuts!! 🤣 Sooo disappointed to learn I couldn’t grow those in my climate! 🍒🌱
