Mangoes

Two years ago we planted a small mango tree in our backyard. I didn't have very high hopes or expectations for this little tree because I don't know many people who successfully grow mangoes in our area. We have dutifully protected it from frost the last two winters, and were surprised to find it setting fruit this summer.

After many weeks of waiting, today the four of us shared a delicious, sweet, enormous mango - a very exciting day! Now we are hoping that next summer will bring us a bumper crop of beautiful homegrown mangoes . Need I mention that the four of us are all mango lovers? Or did you guess?
