Due to a mixture of forgetfulness, trying out a new strategy and pure bone idleness, the 48 hour warm water soak to start off an avocado stone lasted a bit longer. I took Charlie and Ronnie out of the water today and suspended them with hair pins over the tops of jam jars full of water. Charlie has taken over Keith's old jam jar, and Ronnie is over a new little jam jar. There's no change in either Mick or Keith. I know plants take a long time to grow, but oh this is infuriating.
The clementine is growing... well, the leaves are probably a bit bigger but that's about all. Which is about all that can be said for the lemon babies as well.
I "pruned" my goji berry plants this morning. Goji berries didn't seem to be around when Keith Mossman was writing his book, so I have no advice on how to care for them. I am just muddling along.
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.

Previous attempts
Aside from the lemons, my other past attempt at pip growing that actually worked was goji berries. Sadly, these aren't featured in Keith Mossman's book - I guess they are a recent craze - so there's no advice on looking after them and I could do with some on pruning, because my goji berry plantlets are a messy looking bunch.
This was taken today, so it's cold out and they've all shed all of their leaves. These are about two years old now, and they were all grown from the little seeds taken from one dried goji berry. This year I actually got some berries off them - there's a few on here that I missed.
