This guy is quite literally living my dream of being a self made farmer that grows my two favorite foods; avocados and mangoes lol I always thought it was odd how similar the two fruits were being the Pearish shape with a large seed in the middle you have to cut around but also growing on the tree similarly. Makes me wonder if they’re related and why I love both of them so damn much. I just sprouted my first mango seed and am so excited to grow it. Unfortunately I’ve tried avocado seeds but never get past the first stage of the tooth picks halfway in a cup of water as the water starts to ferment before the seed even sprouts :/ I really want my own fruiting mango and avocado trees but hopefully this mango seed is a good dna that fruits a lot as I don’t have any trees to take clippings from
@@SleepyLizard my first one has grown to about 6 inches high with about 6 leaves while my second one I sprouted about a week ago I just potted and hoping it grows too. I did transplant my first but it hasn’t grown any more. Could the plant be stunted because I left it in the first pot too long? I noticed that one of the big main roots was starting to curl when I transplanted it to a bigger pot :/
I have both a huge mango🥭 and avocado 🥑 tree in my yard. My goal is now to plant a Lychee tree and variety of other fruits & vegetables. I live in Miami, Florida. 🏖🏝

Whenever i search for 'how to grow mango seed' most of the times indians videos occur and it take time to understand the video . Thanks for this informative video
@@salinawhite7669 I'm sorry to hear you had difficulties getting stuff to grow. I bet if you keep trying you'd have a lush beautiful garden before you know it!
You are the Tropical tree Guru... You look like a Rick Beato twin... he is the music Guru! You are both great communicators and have knowledge for generations!!!
This man is so handsome and has a great physique, has a wonderful personality, this man is so highly intelligent and has intense teaching abilities. The shade house he built is beautiful and ingenious. What a gift from God. Thank you, Sir.
You are a good talker. It's easy to follow what you're saying. And you keep me interested. More importantly I want to move in with you and eat all that delicious fruit you have in the background.
In the tropics, to plant a mango, I ate the flesh, toss the seed pod onto the trash heap and voila, 3 weeks later I noticed mango leaves starting to appear.
i just tossed my mango seed at a pot where i grow Calamansi , and then it Sprouted , so i putted at bigger pot , now its sitting at a pot over 4 bodies now and the main body is almost 2 floors high now
Your video is just awesome! You are indeed a natural borne educator. It is a gift. So glad you take the effort and time it requires to produce the videos and share your wealth if knowledge with others. Thank you so very much. Your presentation is excellent. You are casual, yet approachable and might I add, entertaining. Your replies are spot on! ( I'm still laughing about one in particular) I look forward to watching your videos and learning more! Thank you again!
Thank you Cheri. We've got some great stuff coming up over the next few months. This time of year most of the "work" is done by mother nature. But pretty soon we'll start picking, planting, grafting and we plan to share it all with this great community that's starting to form on this channel. I appreciate your positive comments.
@@SleepyLizard how do you know what kind of mango tree you have? I grew a store bought mango from seed a couple years ago and I am planting it in the ground now and wondering what kind it is.
@@danielsnyder8106 There are two possibilities. If the tree you planted was polyembryonic then you'll get the exact same mango variety as the one you ate. If the tree is not polyembryonic then you'll get a unique never before seen variety of mango (just like when people are born). If you get fruit in year 4 it will have been polyembryonic. You can then compare the way it looks to mangos online and determine the variety. If on the other hand you're 6,7,8 years down the road with no fruit it might take 10 or more and it will be unique.
@@danielsnyder8106 did the seed produce multiple shoots or just one? if the seed produced multiple shoots the odds are 100%. If only one shoot sprouted your odds are 0%
Excellent! Instructor, Excellent Teacher, Super Informative!, To the point, and simple to understand! I'm an avid gardener, grower myself and love all trees. Who doesn't love mangoes!?! I'm making my to the Supermarket and buying 10 Mangoes so I can plant every seed. lol. Uhm seriously From a farmer to another. God bless thefarmer.
Thanks Mike. I have a lot to say about career management and my decision to pursue an alternative career like farming. Also I have a 62 VW bus to restore.
Your analogy with workers got me subscribed 💪 made me laugh pretty hard. Currently growing avocado and mango trees indoors during the cold Canadian winter.
I live in that state of India which has the best mangoes in the world....The Alphonso mangoes. I love strawberries too....now just multiply the best strawberry you've ever eaten by 10..... You get the Devgad and Ratnagiri Mango variety! It's heavenly.... Great informative video by sleepy lizard by the way! Perfectly narrated!👍
When I saw the grafted tree, I immediately remembered your recent video about grafting avocados and the fact that another plant could grow from a rootstock later on. The way this mango is grafted - under the first set of leaves - seems like a nice way to prevent that from happening as there is no leaf node to support such growth. Unless mango is the type of plant which sometimes grows another plant from its root. Anyway, I am really happy to see a video about mangoes from you as well. I've always been a huge fan of tropical plants, probably because those are something impossible for me to grow or even come across as I don't live in tropical climate. Mangoes are my favorite of those, so it is no surprise that I tried growing my own plant in a pot, not expecting any fruit, just for the sake of growing it. Unfortunately, all my attempts over the years have failed. I managed to get a plant several times using the first method you showed (although it always took a few weeks rather than just few days), however, the plant itself always stopped growing after the first set of leaves grew and died afterward. I think fungus gnats are the cause, they always appear out of nowhere and cause havoc...
Pepso8P, thanks for the comments. Sometimes when I go to edit the vids I end up cutting something that in retrospect to I should have left in the vid. For example, that seed I had in the plastic bag for 10 days was one of five that I put in bags. The other 4 haven’t even started to sprout yet. I think it’s grate meat that you’re growing tropical fruit trees in your house. Maybe someday you’ll have access to a greenhouse and you’ll get fruit!
@@SleepyLizard Thank you for your responses. :) Hmm, I see. It isn't easy to decide what to leave in and what to edit out. But I think you are doing a great work! A little something missing here and there is not a big deal, that is what the comments are good for.
I just bought a handful of honey mangoes for eating and seed germinating so I could grow new houseplants and future trees. But the seed I pulled from the husk was so tiny. Like the size of a dime coin. Well it's in a ziploc bag in my cabinet next to avocado seeds that are also about two weeks into germinating. I'm slowly growing my houseplants collection and enjoying it.
@SleepyLizard thanks so much! I actually didn't get the seed correctly but have since eaten another honey mango and was able to successfully pull the embryo from the husk. In a bag and wet paper towel so I'll see it in some weeks🙂🙏
I am from india, where we relish mango season like none other..and appreciate how you went on eating the pulp to relive the pod.that's how we enjoy each mango to the core
I've been watching mango videos for awhile, with minimal success in growing them. This video is excellent, and it absolutely works!! Thanks SleepyLizard!
You sir have me more excited than ever. I have lived at my current place for about a year and a half. I know next to nothing about gardening/growing food, but apparently one of the trees on my property is a mango tree! It's not crazy big, and didn't produce last year so I had no clue until I noticed a few pods growing and asked a neighbor about it. Can't wait to harvest some and give them out to the neighborhood! Definitely gonna try my hand at growing something else, too. Just not sure what yet. Thank you for the informative video, definitely got a sub from me!
You're so great at explaining things! I grew up in the Philippines and mango is my favorite fruit. I just got some Manila mangoes from an Asian supermarket and saved the seeds. Can't wait to try the process you taught! Thank you for making these videos.
No plan to grow fruit trees, but I enjoy watching this professor so much that I would do it if and only if I were of his age and healthy again. Hayden, Keit and the ones with very little fiber are my favorites. Thank you, professor!
I’m just starting out growing some small veggies. Lettuce and basil and such. But you give me hope that I can get good at this. I’ve learned so much from you. Greetings from Tennessee.
Chris, You definitely can. There are so many resources to teach and we also learn by trial and error. We are trying asparagus for the first time, no idea what to do but we'll give it a whirl!
I live in florida my whole life. I bought a mango a few days ago. It was delicious i ate it 2 days ago. I'm germinating the seed in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel. Im soooooooo excited.
I really enjoyed this video. It made the whole prcess, even the complicated version, seem doable. Do you plan to update us on the baby mango trees and how they're doing, what we should expect, care that needs to be done etc?
Im in the USAF living in hawaiii, i have a neighbor with a mango tree. literally the coolest thing ever. i never been so close to a mango tree before. it so awesome. im trying to learn what i can now.
I love you! This is a fabulous video. So instructional and well presented and truly inspiring! I just subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to see the rest. Btw, my two favorite trees are the mango and avocado I planted a few years ago. I want to have five of each and now I know how I'm going to do it! Thank you thank you thank you! Anytime you happen to be visiting Clearwater, look me up!
@@SleepyLizard you have a gorgeous yard or Grove or whatever it is. I have a little tiny piece of heaven that used to just be St Augustine grass and sand and concrete and now it is a highly imperfect but happy jungle. One of these days maybe I'll have a decent enough video to post online. But for now I plan to stay in close touch with you. You are my new guru! 💕
Great information Tom actually Tom I'm doing the same mathod as you had shown in this video clip 👍 awesome information Tom great job done 👍✅ your work is good as always keep it up bro ✌️
Great video, sir….incredibly well presented. I am currently in Colombia and l plan to retire here and l am hoping to grow mangoes and other fruit here and this was very helpful. Cheers from Tulua, Colombia 🇨🇴
I’ve tried many times to grow a mango from a seed and had no luck. After watching this video I’m going to try the Mother Nature route and see how that goes. Great video! Thank you
Hey Johan! The issue might be that your mangos 🥭 are irradiated if you aren't getting your seeds from a local source. Most imports are heated which kills the seed if they're imported
Omg I love this video! 🥰🥰🥰 I stumbled across your page as I had wanted to grow a mango tree up in cold Massachusetts! Lol SUBSCRIBED!!!! You are too funny as well!🤣🤣🤣🥰
I lived in Florida all my life and have never seen a mango that huge!!! Wow!!! Nectarines and mangos truly are 2 of my favorites...loved your video! I have a mango tree growing doesn't require much, I tried to fertilize it and it was none too happy. It's still hanging in there. I'm looking into Bonsai so that i can keep it. Unsure of what species it is.
You're makin' me jealous eating that YUMMMMY MANGO!...SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! that like button ALLL DAYY LONG! HAVE THESE SEEDS TOO!...GREAT VIDEO AS WELL!❤ Unless one of You're videos come up again...I'm out planting!😊
@@SleepyLizard ALL EYES ON YOU SUNSHINE!...I'll just sit under your shade and enjoy the drinks. That's why you're the video man...I'm here for the entertainment and knowledge...soaking up some sun.🙃
Very good! Best mangoe growing video I’ve seen, Although I would have mentioned polyembryonic Species of mango versus single embryo Speceis. If you grow a polyembryonic Species from seed it will produce the same fruit as the parent tree, unlike the single embryo species. A good example is the Ataulfo mango, a common species found in grocery stores.
Yeah, I grow Nam Duc Mai which is also polyembryonic. I'm going to do a vid on the difference between the two and how to select the seedlings during mango season this year.
@@Mark-wv6sg We don't have them in the wild but I know of a few groves that got taken over by federal land and are out in the middle of the "woods". They still produce fruit.
John, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe you found me a funding source for the new shade house i want to build. Have you ever eaten fruit from the monstera? It's delicious but also a little risky because it'll burn your mouth if it's not ripe. Heres a vid I did on it a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/oRL6xzDmiJY/видео.html
Awesome video, thank you! Is there a source that you can recommend to buy the cuttings to then graft onto the seedling? I watched your avocado videos, and have the same question there, too. Thanks again!
Hi Harry, I don't have a source but it's seasonal so the only thing I can think of would be to check google periodically and you'll find somebody selling online.
Yesterday bought two 🥭 to try from the farmers market here in Texas, loved them. I was wondering how to grow them so I could have them growing from seed. Saw your video and absolutely loved the instructions from this video. I’m a new subscriber, and want you to know I have written down the process from your information. By the way I am also growing lemons, oranges, lychees and avocados from seeds. I love growing plants, and where I live it doesn’t have too much cold here until December to March. Then starts warming up quickly by April. On the cold nights I bring them inside, my question is: When do I need to plant them and how do I keep them from the cold since they are able to be planted outside? I live in the North Eastern part of Texas near Oklahoma.
Even after cutting and eating the two halves of the mango, there is still quite a bit of mango flesh on the middle slice that I could otherwise be eating. I just pry open the shell and plant the seed sideways, water it and put a glass or cover it with a translucent enough bag for humidity. (6:00) I use a mixture of the two methods, in a smart of fitting way, so yeeeah, I... have a life🤣.
I have couple of mangoes tree growing which I started from seed and I’m in northern California so hopefully one day I will get a mango before I expire...lol
I’ve never planned on growing mango trees, but after watching this, I just might have to. This was an awesome video, and I loved your style of teaching. You deserve all the compliments you’re receiving, my friend! Keep up the good work, and good luck with the growing. - Jon, GA
Excellent video. Thank You... I've got a mango tree that's about 6 feet tall (that I grew from seed), but hasn't produced any fruit yet. I live in the coastal area of California. Zone 10. It's about 4 years old. I would like to graft it, but there aren't any producing mango trees around here. Any suggestions?
only thing I can think of is search the internet for an online nursery who has the type of mango graft youre looking for. I used to sell them online but not anymore.
I love Mangos and Avocados, I found your channel and I learned from your channel a few tricks that I like. 18 years ago I grew an avocado tree from a seed. Two years ago it produced its first batch of hass avocados, they were delicious. Now you have a gift for talking and explaining all things mangos. loved the content, so I subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing and I'm glad your tree produced good fruit. I just did a vid last week where I tasted a seed grown avocado and the bad taste is still in my mouth. 🤣
@@SleepyLizard Wow, judging by your comment on fruits that were grown from seeds, I was real lucky that after so many years waiting, the avocados that we picked were actually delicious. I just never knew that possibility.

I live in florida my whole life. I bought a mango a few days ago. It was delicious i ate it 2 days ago. I'm germinating the seed in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel. Im soooooooo excited.
the start of a lifelong passion
You made this so easy for me to learn thank you! 🥭
you are welcome Elba
I really enjoyed this video. It made the whole prcess, even the complicated version, seem doable. Do you plan to update us on the baby mango trees and how they're doing, what we should expect, care that needs to be done etc?
Maria, I need to do exactly what you're saying. Plant some trees and follow them over a time period.
Well explained. I can't wait to buy land and start growing
It’s such a great feeling I can’t wait till you do it
Im in the USAF living in hawaiii, i have a neighbor with a mango tree. literally the coolest thing ever. i never been so close to a mango tree before. it so awesome. im trying to learn what i can now.
Make friends with your neighbor and you're gonna have a great summer! I get half my calories from mangos in the summertime.
Cool,fun seed planting video, thank you!🏝️
do you think you might try it?
I love you! This is a fabulous video. So instructional and well presented and truly inspiring! I just subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to see the rest. Btw, my two favorite trees are the mango and avocado I planted a few years ago. I want to have five of each and now I know how I'm going to do it! Thank you thank you thank you! Anytime you happen to be visiting Clearwater, look me up!
Dana, thank you for your wonderful comment. I appreciate it. Stay close to the channel and keep us posted on your mango/avocado grove. Good luck!
@@SleepyLizard you have a gorgeous yard or Grove or whatever it is. I have a little tiny piece of heaven that used to just be St Augustine grass and sand and concrete and now it is a highly imperfect but happy jungle. One of these days maybe I'll have a decent enough video to post online. But for now I plan to stay in close touch with you. You are my new guru! 💕
Thanks for your presentation. I actually got 5 seeds germinating. So happy to see them because I talk to them.
what do you tell them?
Nice analogy of grafting!!! That was funny…
😝
You sir are absolutely awesome!
Wow, thank you for the compliment Trung!!
These videos are really fun to watch. Great script, delivery, and production. Hope to see many more of your videos! Thanks for sharing.
thank you
GREAT
By far the best tutorial I’ve seen on RUclips 👍🏻
wow, thank you!
Excellent Video, thank you Sleepy Lizard!
Thank you Joy!
This is an amazingly well done video ! Your oratory skills are topnotch ! :)
Thank you Alan
Great video, informative
Love it when Yankees come down here, and grow Yankee mangoes
How old are you?
Old enough to have a sense of humor
@@TheAnalyticalObservers nah, seriously, I'm curious
I love that you explain everything
Thank you Evelyn and I love your comment
Great information Tom actually Tom I'm doing the same mathod as you had shown in this video clip 👍 awesome information Tom great job done 👍✅ your work is good as always keep it up bro ✌️
👍
my dad at his work at a nursery he has like 10 mango trees
he's lucky, mangos are good
ThAnk you gor your detaiiled ecplanation. You are funny too and enjoyable.
thanks for the compliment
I clean the outside of the husk with a scrub daddy. Works like a charm 🥭❤
what variety do you grow?
Great video, sir….incredibly well presented. I am currently in Colombia and l plan to retire here and l am hoping to grow mangoes and other fruit here and this was very helpful. Cheers from Tulua, Colombia 🇨🇴
You’re going to love it. Best of luck. Please keep close to the channel and keep us posted on your progress.
I’ve tried many times to grow a mango from a seed and had no luck. After watching this video I’m going to try the Mother Nature route and see how that goes. Great video! Thank you
Hi Johan, best of luck with the tree and stay close to the channel and let us know how it goes!
Hey Johan! The issue might be that your mangos 🥭 are irradiated if you aren't getting your seeds from a local source. Most imports are heated which kills the seed if they're imported
Omg I love this video! 🥰🥰🥰 I stumbled across your page as I had wanted to grow a mango tree up in cold Massachusetts! Lol SUBSCRIBED!!!! You are too funny as well!🤣🤣🤣🥰
Thank you Elizabeth. I get a surprising amount of tropical fruit enthusiasts from Massachusetts. Welcome to the channel
Oh wow that's naturally done...
Excellent tutorial! You are very charismatic and easy to follow. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Phthalo, I appreciate your feedback
I lived in Florida all my life and have never seen a mango that huge!!! Wow!!! Nectarines and mangos truly are 2 of my favorites...loved your video! I have a mango tree growing doesn't require much, I tried to fertilize it and it was none too happy. It's still hanging in there. I'm looking into Bonsai so that i can keep it. Unsure of what species it is.
Thank you for your comment and best of luck with your tree
You're makin' me jealous eating that YUMMMMY MANGO!...SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! that like button ALLL DAYY LONG! HAVE THESE SEEDS TOO!...GREAT VIDEO AS WELL!❤
Unless one of You're videos come up again...I'm out planting!😊
something tells me you are a lot of fun at parties. 😝
@@SleepyLizard ALL EYES ON YOU SUNSHINE!...I'll just sit under your shade and enjoy the drinks. That's why you're the video man...I'm here for the entertainment and knowledge...soaking up some sun.🙃
Hello I am from the Maldives. You are amazing! Was very interesting to listen to you explain the process.
thank you
Very good! Best mangoe growing video I’ve seen, Although I would have mentioned polyembryonic Species of mango versus single embryo Speceis. If you grow a polyembryonic Species from seed it will produce the same fruit as the parent tree, unlike the single embryo species. A good example is the Ataulfo mango, a common species found in grocery stores.
Yeah, I grow Nam Duc Mai which is also polyembryonic. I'm going to do a vid on the difference between the two and how to select the seedlings during mango season this year.
@@SleepyLizard awsome! Glad to hear it, keep it up I'll be sure to stay tuned!
Dry the seeds for two days then it’s easier to take of the seed .
thanks for the tip
Wow Thank Q friend for sharing your techniques & great informations. Stay strong & healthy.
Might be grafting some mango tomorrow
Great, down to earth explanation.
thanks for the compllment
There's only one thing i rather eat than a juicy mangoe😁👍
bazinga!
In Queensland mangoes grow wild,my favourite mangoes,are Bowen,or Kensington pride
@@Mark-wv6sg We don't have them in the wild but I know of a few groves that got taken over by federal land and are out in the middle of the "woods". They still produce fruit.
Ha!!!
Hey man, just in case you’re unaware, you’ve got like thousands of dollars worth of variegated monstera at around 2:05. Sell those cuttings
John, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe you found me a funding source for the new shade house i want to build. Have you ever eaten fruit from the monstera? It's delicious but also a little risky because it'll burn your mouth if it's not ripe. Heres a vid I did on it a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/oRL6xzDmiJY/видео.html
I thought I was the only one who noticed!! He’s got like 50 grand behind him!! I had to pause and go back! Crazy.
I noticed those too! $$$$
Thank you! A PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
I appreciate your compliment. thank you
I just planted my seed yesterday and hopefully it'll grow bigger and give me somefruit
best of luck
Awesome video, thank you! Is there a source that you can recommend to buy the cuttings to then graft onto the seedling? I watched your avocado videos, and have the same question there, too. Thanks again!
Hi Harry, I don't have a source but it's seasonal so the only thing I can think of would be to check google periodically and you'll find somebody selling online.
Yesterday bought two 🥭 to try from the farmers market here in Texas, loved them. I was wondering how to grow them so I could have them growing from seed. Saw your video and absolutely loved the instructions from this video. I’m a new subscriber, and want you to know I have written down the process from your information.
By the way I am also growing lemons, oranges, lychees and avocados from seeds. I love growing plants, and where I live it doesn’t have too much cold here until December to March. Then starts warming up quickly by April. On the cold nights I bring them inside, my question is:
When do I need to plant them and how do I keep them from the cold since they are able to be planted outside? I live in the North Eastern part of Texas near Oklahoma.
can you google the USDA hardiness zone for your zip code and let me know what it says?
Yes definitely. Hunt County hardiness zone 8a.
@@dawnbuckner2369 that's gonna be tricky for Mango. They don't like too much time below 40F. I'm not sure if they'll survive.
If you are able to, dig a greenhouse 4-6 feet under ground and grow it in a pot in the greenhouse:)
@@SleepyLizard thank you
Thank you for the great advice my tree is about 14cm and healthy from seed
thanks awesome!
Even after cutting and eating the two halves of the mango, there is still quite a bit of mango flesh on the middle slice that I could otherwise be eating. I just pry open the shell and plant the seed sideways, water it and put a glass or cover it with a translucent enough bag for humidity.
(6:00) I use a mixture of the two methods, in a smart of fitting way, so yeeeah, I... have a life🤣.
🤓
I have couple of mangoes tree growing which I started from seed and I’m in northern California so hopefully one day I will get a mango before I expire...lol
see if you can get your hands on a clipping and try a graft...just for the fun of it.
@@SleepyLizard how many years will it take before it starts to produce
@@saminairfan45 should be in year 3 or 4
What part of Northern California are you . I also growing a mango tree in el sobrante ca
@@francok38 I’m in woodland CA which is near Sacramento CA
planted mango tree (6month) ago, watering a tree one week once (I am in tropical Southindia) if survive in summer once week water + mulch.......
You’re going to have some delicious fruit before you know it good luck
I’ve never planned on growing mango trees, but after watching this, I just might have to. This was an awesome video, and I loved your style of teaching. You deserve all the compliments you’re receiving, my friend! Keep up the good work, and good luck with the growing. - Jon, GA
Thank you Jon, I appreciate the encouragement
Up in zone 3 but very knowledgeable and entertaining. Might have to try some of these winter house plants
please tell me if you can get a mango to fruit in Canada...that would be a game changer for the great white north!
I usually just throw the seeds to the ground and they sprout randomly between a week and 5 months
Excellent video. Thank You... I've got a mango tree that's about 6 feet tall (that I grew from seed), but hasn't produced any fruit yet. I live in the coastal area of California. Zone 10. It's about 4 years old. I would like to graft it, but there aren't any producing mango trees around here. Any suggestions?
only thing I can think of is search the internet for an online nursery who has the type of mango graft youre looking for. I used to sell them online but not anymore.
@@SleepyLizard First method in video where you cut and pull out the seed do you need a mango graft once it becomes 2 feet tall. Thank you
I love Mangos and Avocados, I found your channel and I learned from your channel a few tricks that I like.
18 years ago I grew an avocado tree from a seed. Two years ago it produced its first batch of hass avocados, they were delicious. Now you have a gift for talking and explaining all things mangos.
loved the content, so I subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing and I'm glad your tree produced good fruit. I just did a vid last week where I tasted a seed grown avocado and the bad taste is still in my mouth. 🤣
@@SleepyLizard Wow, judging by your comment on fruits that were grown from seeds, I was real lucky that after so many years waiting, the avocados that we picked were actually delicious. I just never knew that possibility.
Best video I’ve seen on RUclips that explains every little detail. 👏🏽
Thank you Jacqueline. I appreciate your kind words.
