Whenever I open a fruit (or other seed pod) and find its seeds have already began sprouting inside the fruit, I plant them on my windowsill. It makes me feel like these particular seeds really really wanna grow and I owe them the chance.
So far, so good.
- fy20 5y agoI do this with onions that have started to sprout, planting them in window boxes. Onion flowers are very pretty, and you can eat the stems that sprout. As it's a window box they never over-winter, but it's good for a season :-)
