Cool!😎

Starting seeds in water is a fun way to watch roots grow, and it’s something I like doing on a windowsill where I can keep an eye on them 🌱
🥑 Avocado is probably the most popular and one of the easiest to try
🍋 Lemon and apple seeds can sprout, but I’ve found they take a little patience
🍑 Peach and plum pits will grow, but they usually need more time than people expect
🍒 Cherry seeds can sprout, but not every one will take
🍇 Grape seeds are small but can still get going in the right conditions
🌰 Hazelnut and fig can root, though I’ve had mixed results with those
🌺 Passion flower is a fun one if you want something a little different
🍎 Pomegranate seeds are easy to try and usually pretty quick
I change the water every few days and keep them in bright light. Just keep in mind, not all of these will turn into fruiting plants, but they’re still fun to grow.

Stages of our raised bed fun on the farm
Items used: wood bark and pieces from our wood pile when we split fire wood, wood chips from when the utility company was in the area and we asked him to drop a load of wood chips for us, green weeds I pulled such as watercress, chickweed, dead nettle, one and a half year old organic compost from horse and cow manure, and potting soil with peat moss and vermiculite that is a year old. A way to make things cheaper is to try to get people to deliver the Compost by the trailer or a truckload instead of buying it in the bags at a local nursery or garden center. We met a nice young man in Campbellsville who delivered us our loads. Thank you, Jack!😉
We don’t waste much here on the farm.
