Re: beyondhom Re: rubric help & thoughts needed

Remembering the recipe for encouraging hair growth (green mango soaked for 
12 months in sesame oil) I stood before a heap of mangoes in the supermarket 
today ...... the greenest was soft and ripe for eating - I put it back with 
it's friends and left.  It's too cold for mangoes at the moment - I was 
surprised tho such a green mango being so soft. When I read "green mango" in 
the recipe I imagined it would be a hard unripe mango.

I have never opened a mango to find the stone to be shooting or sprouting - 
unlike many other fruits I buy or grow - I wonder how difficult it would be 
to grow from "seed".

Meantime I wait for the papayas on the kitchen bench to ripen. And watch the 
sprouted avocado pips grow into trees on the verandah.

Thanks for the links
