At the end of the summer we decided to increase our local consuming and decrease buying in general, but particularly food that wasn't local.
Note: deciding to start this in Sept is not the best course of action.
But we persevered.
Often unsuccessfully.
Knowing citrus is out I was thrilled to discover this little lemon/orange hybrid that can grow in a container.
It recently started blooming!
I also want to try to grow peach trees.
Last night we split open the pits (no easy task- in the end we smashed them with a sledge hammer on the basements concrete floor).
Then they soaked in water overnight.
Here are two cups with 6 seeds between them.
They have to be stored in the refrigerator, apparently, for a couple months before they sprout.
Here's hoping.
