Medford Gardener

Hi everybody! Noah and I have been having fun with our first urban garden. It seemed a bit daunting at first, but "Crockett's Victory Garden" has convinced us that gardening in Boston is possible, and we're no longer limited to container gardening for our landlord has given us full reign of the yard!!

Mango Seeds

Since Gabe was making some Mango Salsa, I decided to try and grow some mango trees.

Cut up the mangos, leaving the seed husk in the center covered by a little fruit.


Cut one edge so you can get at the seed inside the husk.


Stick your thumbs inside and pry the husk open, exposing the large bean-shaped seed.


Pull out the seed - it should not be too dry.


Plant it with the hump just barely sticking out of the soil.


I'll keep you posted on how its growing!

Just a quick update - I finished the piece that holds the two wings together.


Next step the wings!
