Growing limes from Supermaket Limes

Following some instructions I found on the internet I attempted to grow some limes and oranges from the seeds in the fruit from the supermarket...which from what I can tell everyone says that it's a "fruit-less" experience.

The Oranges grew ok for a while and then just seemed to stop growing and the leafs (whilst still looking fine) dropped off and I was left with just a stalk.  The Limes on the other hand seem to have grown alright.  The ones below are from last year so aren't exactly growing a mile a minute but I'm intrigued to see how much more they will grow as they barely experience temperatures of over 20C.
