I grow peppers, tomatoes, chillies, garllic and this year I am having an attempt in growing melons all these from supermaket fruit or veg. Germination rate 7/10 for melon and higher for the others. Don't worry about freshness, just choose a nice fruit, scoop the seeds out, wash and dry them and they are ready for planting. Regards
