A Young Mango Sapling

Posted on July 28, 2009

A Young Mango Sapling Sprouting Due to Rain
Whenever I eat a mango I throw away the seed in the garden. So when the rain falls (and it fell in buckets yesterday, led to water logging all around and added 45 minutes extra to my commute due to traffic jams) they start sprouting. But my garden is so small that after a while I will give these away. There is just no space for me to grow mangoes in my garden. But while it is there, it looks so beautiful!

    In my high school we'd a mango tree. Legend is that the school first started under that tree. The tree use to give unripe mangoes, I still remember the tickle. Living at second floor can only have this disadvantage, you cannot have a garden.

    Now if giving away includes some monetary component, it would amount to 'aam ke aam, guthliyon ke daam'.

    Ah! Lucky you! If I planted a mango seed in my garden it would never survive the winter!

    Kelly you and I were typing on almost the same time! Even I would have to give it away because I have no space for a big tree.
