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! Big Grin

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!
