The best mango fruit you can ever taste is found in the Philippines. I'm not saying this because I'm a Filipino, it is base on what I heard from other country that had tasted Philippine mangoes. Now a days mangoes are being planted not on it's native soil. The fruit is being exported throughout the world, so some that likes it very much would attempt to plant the seed that comes with the fruit. But unfortunately for them even the seeds find its way to a place with the right climate it will still not taste the same since the element in the soil seems to play a major role also for the delicious taste found in the Philippine.
So the next time you buy Philippine mangoes make sure it was harvested in the Philippine.

Gardening Time Again
Save money on gardening this year. Here a list to do to save money.
Save on potting soil by making a compost - Rake and gather all fallen leaves from fall, cut grass and gather clippings and green waste from the yard or lawn. Set them aside on a well ventilated area. Throw in kitchen scraps (scrap veggies, egg shell, coffee grounds but not meat by products) and mixed it well. If not so gross with you adding urine to the compost will boots the decomposition process and
Save on seeds-Get tomato seeds, pepper seed and other seeds before eating or cooking, wash it and place it to a clean tissue paper, let it air dry, keep it on a cool dry place until ready to plant. Or follow this video for a more advance way.
Make pots - save all large plastic containers from milk, orange juice and other food container. Wash it till it is clean them cut the top part so it will have a large opening and ready for planting.
Save on water-Plan ahead where to place the plants it should be close to a water supply, if you have plans to have a summer vacation it is wise to have an automatic watering system. Make a rain cath

Comparing International Rates
I have been checking out and comparing international rates of Verizon, AT&T, Google Voice, Magic Jack and Vonage of course to see where I could save money.
Here are the links to their international calling rates.
Verizon
AT&T
Google Voice
Magic Jack
Skype
Vonage
There are big difference on the prices. But I found Google Voice the cheapest to call the Philippines. It is not the most convenient method unless you have an iPhone or Android phone to install the app. But if you could settle on using your PC in placing international call then this will save you a lot of money.
