On non-pip growing news, my lemon tree has had a proper wobbly over Christmas. It has one leaf left. I suspect its days are numbered now. Sadly.
This is the blog of my pip and stone growing adventures. I have tried to plant seeds from things I've eaten to see what happens - not always with much success. Following advice from 70s book The Pip Book by Keith Mossman, I am going to try again with the growing of random things.

New Year, New Shoots
After the Christmas festivities and so on, I took a look in my plastic bag greenhouses - things are starting to happen! So far it appears that the lemons are more successful than the piplets (clementines). I have four lemon shoots - one from each lemon pip seemingly, so I'm still not sure about Keith's comment that you can get several plants from one pip.... in the meantime on the piplet/clementine front there is only one shoot so far.
