What fruits can easily be grown from seed?

The only one I can think of is strawberry but I'm sure that there are more

Thanks

I guess i should have been more clear. I meant fruit that will do well in the UK

Hey Lesley Jay
I have seeds for rhubarb, cape gooseberry and want to get passionfruit - are they easy to grow as well? I've never tried them before... i also have melon that supposedly grows outside. (in a tub) so i hope they work too.
thanks

Strawberry sticks (also called strawberry spinach) and huckleberries can be grown.

Hi, I grew rhubarb from seed and got about 90% germination. I planted them out last summer and they made fine healthy plants. Checked them the other day and they are up and sprouting already. I would say it was well worth it.

Hi Tinyvine! Cape gooseberry is easy to grow. I grew it in the greenhouse and the plants got quite large. Rhubarb I have never tried from seed. I would normally divide a rhubarb crown for extra plants. Some people on the Grapevine have grown passionfruit - Slug was one member. If you click on search at the top of the main page and put in passionfruit it will bring up the old threads.

Thanks Lesley Jay
I could only find a link about certain passionfruits being edible. The seeds are from kings and apparently grow outside so I'll give them a try ( not got them yet) and report back!

Mine haven't come up yet but I'll take your word for it

Tinyvine, I sowed my rhubarb inside on the window ledge. I am assuming yours are indoors also.

Hi Bramble
Yes they are indoors on a sunny windowsill, but at that time i only had room for 2 pots, i think i must have dropped one of the seeds - it came up this morning in the same pot as the red kale, at least one seedling is red and the other green so I can tell them apart - it is like they are keeping each other company!!
I will split them up soon, I hope they survive.
thanks
