Germination

Roots first emerged from the seed in the baggie after only around three days, even in this crazy Indiana climate and cold, air conditioned room! They are truly amazing. Now, actual roots have been confirmed to have grown from all three seeds!  I am so excited!  Things are going well and I hope the mangoes live and do well. It has been just over a week since planting time, and real roots have emerged and have gotten a tiny grip on the soil. I can hardly wait for a little, green plant to shoot up. I think I will die of happiness in that moment.

Growing plants is like having a miniature baby. A pre-baby. Some kind of little baby that gets you ready for having an actual baby. Gee, I might explode when I have an actual baby. Plants are really fun, but, even if my children get my social incapacities, they will still make more noises than mangoes. I still love mangoes. Mangoes are great. I will feed mangoes to my children. Not while they are too young, or they might explode. More like their diapers will explode. I like babies and mangoes. Mangoes might not cry in the night, but babies are nice in some ways, too. For instance, you will never have to throw dirt and water on a baby, build a greenhouse around a baby, constantly shine bright light on a baby, or surround the baby with toxic CO2, potassium nitrate and phosphorus.

I like my mangoes. They are growing well. Pictures will come, eventually!
