Mangoes

IN THE CENTER of the mango, there is a large hairy husk with a pit in it. Scrape off the excess flesh from the husk, gently pry it open with a dull knife, and remove the pit. Fill a small plastic bag with dampened peat moss or sphagnum. Put the pit into the bag and surround it completely with moss. Check every day to make sure the pit is not too dry or too moist. When the roots are four inches long, transplant to a pot that is at least one inch wider than the pit.
