The Miracle of Seeds

Here you see a  lemon baby plant I've started by saving the seeds from a lemon I got from the store.  I plan to transplant to our garden in only a few months.  So exciting!!

Lemon tree from seed

You can do the same thing with other fruits, such as apples, peaches, apricots, pomegranates, ect. In fact I have some pomegranate trees to feature soon.

There is no reason why you have to run to the store and pay $25+ for a tree when you can just start one of your own with seeds from fruit you eat. You pay good money for that fruit...make last!  I've done this before many times (in a pre-blogging era) with great success.  

So, go ahead an save your seeds and get them started on container near a sunny window.  When they're several inches tall, transplant them to the spot when you would want them permanently.  You should consider how much sunlight the tree will need and select a location that will provide the right sunlight for the best production of fruit.  Happy planting!!!
