Hey everyone! Do you have Mangoes on your garden or anywhere nearby? I have a lot of mango trees here. The nearest to my house is the mango that becomes yellow. I actually never remember ever having fruits from that tree but now it's bearing fruit! Haha The second tree is behind our stockroom. It's the type of mango that doesn't become yellow. It's good with salt water, soy sauce or sugar. I'm not sure what I like best but i don't like it with soy sauce so much. And the third tree is behind our neighbors house! We don't really get any fruits from that tree because it's our neighbors. But it's the type of mango that you can eat the peels! Haha. I don't remember ever eating from that tree. So, do you have mango trees growing nearby your house? Or do you have to buy mangoes on the store?

Hi Olonam, in my hometown we have four mango trees which served as shelter for birds and they really had a lot of fruits during summer here in my country. most of the time during summer my mom brings many mangoes here in my house in the city where most of them are ripe and very sweet. Also we have small green mangoes which very delicious and crunchy and i love to eat it with sauteed spicy shrimp paste or sugar with chili. Since I am living in the city now and my mom can't come because she is busy taking care of my nephew I usually buy mangoes at the grocery or market.

Earlier when we used to stay in Government quarters as my dad is a Government employee. We had a huge garden and there were many fruit trees. Among those we had 2 mango trees. And every alternate year during the mango season the trees used to be filled with mangoes. And they were available in such a huge quantity that we used to distribute them to the neighbors. Currently we have moved to our flat in city and here there is no garden and hence no fruit trees.

That's lucky! I've never tried eating fruits that are plucked by myself. I believe it would be a good experience to have a try.

You are one lucky guy! You're practically in paradise with all those mangoes around you! Unfortunately, despite some trees in our yard, we don't have any fruit-bearing tree, much less a mango tree. So our mangoes has to be store-bought boohoo!
