When Grapefruit was in season, I ate them constantly. I decided I wanted a tree for the orchard. From the grapefruit I ate, I saved the seeds, dried them, and planted them as an experiment. After no signs of life for two months, I shelved the seedlings in their starter soil away in a bag and forgot about it.
Tonight, however, I dug through the bag and found these, alive and well and strong! You can imagine my joy and amazement. I am actually growing trees! I am so excited I could scream.
On another topic, we live in an incredible neighborhood. Down the street a neighbor stopped me and we talked for an hour about Hollyhocks, for which she has many, some being 10 feet tall! It was amazing. As if that wasn't perfect enough, she sent me home with Hollyhock seeds and Hyacinth bulbs! Amazing neighborhood!
