What’s Growing?

Today I’m showing you my kiwi plants and will explain a bit about how we started them. I had come across a video on growing kiwi from seed on YouTube. So the boys and I decided to give it a go. First thing I did was cut a thin slice from the fruit and then using a toothpick I pulled the seeds loose until I had quite a few. After that a paper towel was folded up and placed inside of a zippered sandwich bag, it was then moistened but not soaking wet. ( Too much water can drown your seeds. ) Seeds were then placed into bag on top of damp paper towel and set on top on fridge. After about two weeks, give or take the seeds began to sprout. I’d guess out of the 50 or so seeds about half sprouted but many died before getting decent roots. Out of the 25 only five went on to start growing and out of those 5, 3 remain and are now getting bigger by the day. As I learn what I’m doing I’ll try to make some videos to show some of what we are doing on our micro homestead.
