i would love to know how you get on with the quince seed experiment, i cant buy the tree here but if i could get some seed and try myself that would be great will have to speak to my mum and get her to save me some next year and post it out.
i have grown kiwi from a shop bought fruit that was fun its great to experiment sometimes.

I dunno, but good luck with those exploding cukes, they try and take over the world!

[BrideXIII]

Tracy I have some seeds left if you pm me you address.

Andrea, i am saving a spot on the patio for those, all to themselves.

Bride - I can do you a few Parisien Pickling Gherks - still got your address - so if you still have mine perhaps I will take a few quinces if still left?

[quark1]

I should also add that you think YOU'VE gone to excess.........?

There are too many of us here to count and who would 'admit'? they've overdone it.....but the list can begin with the name Quark!

that would be lovely, thankyou, i shall send them out to you, although they are experimental, no guarantee on germination.
I always keep swappers addresses so no problem there.

i planted living watercress from sainsbury's in the pond and survived so that's possible

I did wonder when you mentioned it the other day, sadly i don't have a pond though, still, as I am always buying it, maybe I could try with some leftovers lol.

There's also this site which discusses growing dragon fruit.

[A Life Less Simple]

When I was younger we use to grow watercress in window boxes.

Very nice in cheese and marmite sandwiches LOL
