May I introduce Jerry and Jack
Jerry isn't on his last legs, he always looks a bit droopy and is a strange colour.
Jack's very perky however.

Read recently that if you took the tough white shell off a lemon pip and chitted the softer inner bit on some damp paper, germination would be better - and it worked
I planted them in a pot of compost, inside a plastic bag and left it on the kitchen window sill. The little green shoot that appeared could have been a weed - but it has glossy little leaves now, so I'm happy!
I have some fresh date stones to do next.

Might be summat like that, followed by a little planting of the inedible bits

Just bought some yellow stickered pomegranate seeds (with flesh - not the dried out sort of seeds), wonky avocados and a bunch of fresh tarragon
Guess what happens next

I've overwintered a passion fruit plant grown from a passionfruit seed. The leaves are about three times the size of the ornamental passion fruit plants for sale in the shops.
I will put it into a large pot and train it up the front of my summerhouse in June.(After frost)
I intend bringing it back in for the winter next year.

I saved seeds from two squashes last year - the random ones they have in Lidl. Planted a few and they're sprouting! Also got lemon pips buried so hoping they come up..

Guest repliedMy first flat nectarine stone has sprouted. Had thought they had had it, especially when the first donut peach sprouted last year on the 23rd March.
Yay

One of mine kept its leaves all this winter.

I have a small avocado plant growing from a stone. I thought it had died as it was in the greenhouse but dropped all it's leaves when it was cold. I brought it into the house and it has sprouted a new stem and leaves.
Any idea if it will fruit and if so how long will I have to wait?

We have been saving the seeds too and thought about doing this, this year. My uncle done this with apple seeds about 30+ year ago. He planted one for each child he had and now has 3 good size trees in his yard. He doesn't eat from them, doesn't even know why they are as he is no gardener.
My partner grew a lemon from seed but only got two inches high and died due to sheer neglect.
Think we should all try this year, fab idea

Decided to try growing Romano peppers from seed in 2015, had somewhat over 30lb in 2016 having pruned and overwintered them. (8 plants in total)
They are looking good for 2017, not bad as they sell for about £1 for each pepper.
No heat to them and they freeze and dry like a dream.
I thought they may be F1 but apparently not.
