Seed Growers

Myself like many other's I have always enjoyed growing those Supermarket seed's. So let's get started.

I've got the following supermarket bought seedlings (and a couple of found seedlings from wild growing fruit)

Australian finger lime
ice cream bean tree
loquat
lemonade tree
mandarins (2 types)
seville orange
red grapefruit
cumquat
rough lemon
custard apple
mulberry
mango
passionfruit

I agree with Dale's statement...I think growing is 1/2 the fun. When those tiny leaves appear it's like Christmas morning. Paradisi...living where you do gives you a distinct advantage, you can buy fruits in the store that we only read about. Good luck and keep us posted. Any photos?

Here we are Citrus Joe - some seedlings:

An eight month old inga edulis (ice cream bean tree) - and the clothes line

A red grapefruit seedling and mango seedling about 2 1/2 years old - the norfolk pine was a christmas tree that Sandie planted out - this will be it's last christmas - - that tree just gets too big

And a couple of others:

A mandarin - about 8 months old - unsure of the variety - Sandie brought the fruit home from a friends place and it tasted good so we planted the seeds

A different type of mandarin potted up with snow peas at the back and radish at the front - why waste space??

I didn't photograph the others, but I will once they're a bit bigger

Nice photos, nice plants. I've a friend in Queensland and another in Tassie that e-mail often and send photos of what they see daily. Makes me green with envy..(not really) but warmer temps do make a BIG difference as to what you can grow in the ground. By the way...welcome aboard, mate!
