Ed's Simple Life

Some time last year I started to keep some of the seeds from Chili Peppers when cooking, I guess I was marginally spurred on by the slight success of the lime seeds from supermarket fruit and the nectarine seeds.  As with the above seeds I was fairly convinced that nothing would grow.  I planted these seeds the same time as the ones that I brought from my usual internet seed shop , they haven't grown as well as the ones from the seed shop however I'm still fairly pleased that anything happened. From reading around a bit I'm pretty convinced that even if they do grow they won't fruit much/anything but it was worth a shot. I also grew some sweet peppers from seed from super market produce as well, they also seem to be growing ok.

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.
