So when the papaya seeds that my mom mixed in an old planter started to grow, I was sure they would curl up and die after a few days. But, they keep growing. And growing. What used to be one tiny green leaf poking though the soil, now looks like this! And if all goes well I could be sharing the fruits of my labor in as little as 6-10 months!
And I also have another avocado coming in. I wonder how long this little guys will last?! Did you know that when grown from a seed, it can take 7-15 years before it will produce fruit! Maybe I can keep it in a pot for now. And eventually put it in the ground when it gets much bigger.
What will we attempt to grow next? I have managed to keep my bird of paradise plant alive for a few months now. I also just realized that there is a papaya plant growing right next to it and I have no idea how the heck that happened.
Have you grown anything lately? What is your favorite thing growing in your garden? Or do you have black thumbs like me?
So jelly about the avocado one...what I would give to have my own avocado tree :D Congrats!
