This morning I came across a 196-day time lapse of growing an acorn from seed. I think the most cool part of it all was learning that the youtube channel is for someone or something named boxlapse. Although there IS a boxlapse website. it simply sends you off to youtube, twitter, etc.

I didn’t watch all the videos, however I did watch the one for a mango tree. I’m rather partial to growing mangos from seed since my sister used to have a mango tree and would send me mangos. When I finally figured out how to grow the trees from seeds, she moved and I lost access to the seeds (oh, well, and the mango fruit as well). Of that last batch, I planted 6 seeds. Two years later only one has survived but it seems healthy. Fingers crossed!
