Cool!

I bought a dragon fruit at the local grocery store, sliced it into fourths and laid the fruit in a pot of purchased garden soil. After the ants and bees ate the fruit, the seeds dropped to the soil bed and germinated in no time.

Aug 29, 2007 shows the first signs of seedlings, Oct 2, 2007 shows a little more growth, and June 11, 2008 shows a lot of growth from the seedling stages.

Now what to do with them all. Still in the same pot with no new soil so not a lot of growth. Wished I was in a tropical zone to put them in the ground.
