Hi folks, just wanted to share this with you.
I went into the yard a couple of weeks go and an apricot stone that had been left since summer (thrown away carelessly) had started to root. I potted it and put a plastic bag over it and it grew. I brought it in during the snow and its on my windowsil now, looking quite perky.
Had one a few years ago, about 5 years growth but I had to leave it when MrMB and I got together (he wasn't a gardener then), and I'm thrilled that it's happened again. '
Don't laugh, it's only a baby I know, but I'll take it to the lottie later in the year, keep it in a pot and overwinter it in the greenhouse.
Real fresh apricots are one of my favourite fruits !!
