Tropical Zone Gardening: What am I doing?, 1 by goofybulb

I'm not going to tell you that I've killed another orchid since my last posts... ooops! also not going to mention the demise of (all but one of) my hibiscus plants, or else I'll be banned from this forum... ooops, again!

The positive thing, probably, is that I'm learning. There is so much I took for granted... And because spring means the beginning of new life, that's exactly what I'm doing!

I have little seeds in my hands, that, with a bit of love and care, will sprout and grow happy.
I'm talking about: allspice (Pimenta dioica), starfruit (Averrhoa carambola), tea (Camellia sinensis), pepper (Piper nigrum) and sweet bay (Laurus nobilis).

And just for fun, I'll just drop in some soil a few grapefruit and tangerine seeds... I know there will not be the wisest thing for a great fruit, but one has got to love the smell and the luscious appearance of the leaves!

Any advice or encouragement will be welcome!
