Mangoes are a pain to eat - you have to get their orientation just right to be able to slice them either side of the seed casing which still leaves flesh on the casing which I gnaw off leaving a mess in my beard. Today however I nicked the seed case and spotted the seed inside it. Curiousity got the better of me so I prised the casing open to find the partially germinated seed.

Should conditions be perfect - they're not
And I'm patient enough - I'm not

I could expect home grown mangoes at Chateau Vernon in twenty years.

The seed now resides in the kitchen bin

Ah, the power of google images. Lets break down the detective work.

We have a bit of a foody...check

With warmer climate heritage....check

A big fark- off seed ....check

That may be worth growing....check

And we have google images. ..... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=b...O1sQSJ0YLQCg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1024&bih=672

Mix the various factors and drill down to either mango or guava...https://www.google.co.uk/search?scl...0...1c.1.54.tablet-gws..7.18.2829.aiqy0xASdEU

Neither. He's a copper. Nothing escapes his beady eye or deductive powers.

The seed has had a reprieve and now resides in some damp kitchen towel in a plastic bag on the window sill.

The 20p is about to go into a bank account at at the current rate of interest, 0.5%, should grow into a 50p in 186 years

Yep - have a go at growing the seed

As for the 20p - don't spend it all in one shop

Add another £1.09 to it and you can get a bar of Cadbury's whole nut.

[Mattonsea]

Was John Hurt near it ??

 

[Beebo]

That looks painful,
I'd get down the doctors asap if i were you.

 

[Gravity Aided]

It must be making progress toward greater mangodom. Will it need special dirt or growing conditions?
