Growing pips, stones and seeds from random fruit & veg.

No we've never met but we have a lot in common - like YOU. .

And we’re both short, quite like a bit of gardening, love winding up JJB, growing weird things, not as young as we were yesterday. Love free stuff. Both creative in our own ways. 

The list of what we have in common is endless

You two sound wonderful, no wonder I like you both.

My first sowing will be of some enormous blackberries (freebies from Morries). They are Driscoll's x Victoria https://clockhousefarm.co.uk/blackberries/

Blackberries "sown", that is squashed into some compost and covered with a bit more. 
Added 2 avocado stones to the box. There were 2 in there that had shooted but looked a bit dry, so I gave them all some wet paper towel to encourage them to do better.
Saved a pip from an orange.

If blackbery seeds react the same as rasberry seeds they will need stratifying? I grew rasberry seeds in a ot and nowt came so I stuck them outside in winter. I was surrpised to see them germinate in the Spring!

I have a three year old avocado 'Palm tree' grown from an avocado stone. It resembles a palm tree a all the bottom leaves have fallen off it!

The rescued 20p banana plant from Morries a couple of years ago has 'pups'  around its base almaost as big as the original!

I once grew a passion fruit pip outdoors and it grew to over 8 foot high with lovely foliage ,only to be killed off by the first frost!
