oh, didn't know about the nitrates but it felt very energising and excitingly good for the garden.  It's just a young tree grown from a seed of the big mango up top but it's got a whole lot of little fruit on it that need feeding up. 

we've had more wind and rain but so far so good, the fruit set is still holding.  I was just looking at it yesterday and realised that on the other side of the driveway is the Jaboticaba which flowers along it's trunk and branches while the mango goes to the opposite extreme sending up flower spikes off the tips of it's branches (the leaves form a rosette at the tip of the branch which funnels the water to it's base and the whole spike can rot off which is somewhat mysterious to me because a little further down the line and the same stem is holding the weight of several big fruit).  I have to say the Jaboticaba wins hands down for holding onto it's fruit but three years without a good harvest has made me realise how much we value the mangoes here.

Between the house and the little mango tree is a Lincolnshire tea rose (beautiful big red roses on tall stems) and the darling of the garden - an Australian grass tree.  and the lightning exploded right in the middle, above the spears of the grass tree.
