That's right. I had a little baby mango tree and a little baby avocado tree growing very contentedly right in my compost bin. Take a look.
Very cute mango plant.
Just look at that.
One more look.
A contented avocado plant.
Look at that.
I just thought this was so neat! I tend to be amused and excited by such things. Isn't that wild they just decided to up and grow.
Now,
I certainly know what is supposed to go into a compost bin, and I certainly know that the books recommend leaving out large, hard seeds, pits, and such, but c'mon....
If I hadn't thrown these guys in, I wouldn't have been able to see this really neat occurrence.
And besides, when do I go strictly by the books?
Hmmmm, maybe I'll have a pineapple tree soon....
(: (: (: (:

Wow, I didn't know mangoes could grow in America! I know, I found watermelon and tomato plants in our compost.
I told you you had a green thumb!
Love you,

I don't think they's supposed to! :) Little seedlings seem to like the conditions of compost piles, huh?
