PLANTING FRUIT TREE SEEDS IN SACKS

The downpour yesterday was so very massive. Though glad for the rainfall as plants thrive better with rain water, I somewhat missed the early morning work session in the garden.
So very glad that the heavens freed this morning of rain so  I can do some things in the garden.

I decided to plant mango in one of the sacks. I had planted pomegranate in that same sack over three months ago but seedling didnt emerge.   I suppose the seeds of pomegranate which is not native to our clime are not pure bred.
To get such seeds to germinate would need some extra extra boost because the pomegranate tree they came from was likely chemically-induced.
But the seeds of organic locally-grown mango sprouts so easily without any special support.  Though I already have a mango plant growing in a sack and about two other seedlings in the mini-garden, I am planting this particular mango seed because the mango its  taken from is so very big  - the type that would be good for producing fruit snacks. More so it's a local variety. So I expect it would germinate  soon - should I say wish me luck?
Though it's not likely the tree seeds I am planting would grow to maturity in the sacks, I am hoping that by the time they outgrow the sacks I would have my farmland to transplant them in.

See the almond tree seedling behind me - I think it's the birds that gave been bringing the seeds and one happen to germinate in one of the sacks of soil.

I have been taking care of it since it germinated - I manure with the stalks of dried pawpaw leaves that fall down .

Today I also cut off branches of the Dongoyaro (NEEM) tree that refused to die despite several attempts I made to decapitate it. I am drying the leaves for a special purpose  - for healthy and beauty treatments. Will reveal  what precisely with time.

Meanwhile the dried NEEM leaves I already stored many months ago have stayed too long to use for that purpose so I burn them to drive away mosquitoes and other insects.

I learnt recently that burning Dongoyaro (NEEM) leaves also cleanse the atmosphere around  by killing bacteria which may be harmful - I think it should also cleanse the atmosphere of carbon monoxide from generator fumes and vehicular engines  - all these natural solutions remind me of the scripture  2nd Peter 1:3 that God's divine power has given us everything that pertains unto life and godliness ...
