Mango army is looking good  ;D. Can't wait to see some ripe mangoes in the future. Any plans to up size the containers. Btw, what is the container soil mix you are using?
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

I will grow them in pot for the moment. Then I will put them in ground, but need money to buy an area where to grow them, probably in south of Peloponnese or in south islands.

I mix peat, ground soil, perlite, pumice, and compost.
