            1. @weerosie I was just growing random seeds harvested from everyday life. So I tried multiple apples ( they all sprouted about 10 cm, then died ), pears ( dito ), chestnut ( double height, then died ), mango ( might die soon ? ). And finally a lime, which is now larger than 2 meter ( 6 foot ) and still growing. I never did thow in much money into this sidehobby save for some soil, coco peat, and martocaria seed ( which are 1 year plants/flowers, which worked quite nicely )

              1. @critialcloudkicker congratulations on your lime tree! Apple seeds won't grow regular apples though, you will get crab apples.

                1. @weerosie Thank you. Also it is probably not ever sunny enough in here for any sort of tree to sprout any sort of flower. So I have basically decided to grow stuff for the sake of watching them grow. Also they do seem to provide an adequate amount of heat absorbtion. Which is cool since even in winter-time I can not seem to get my house below 24 degrees C ( 75F ) because my neighbours probably do not know how to work the thermostat. ( that or they are always cold ).

                  I can not put the lime-tree outside though, the winter would kill it, but were any of my taller apple spoutlings still alive I'd probably bury them outside on strategic locations, perhaps with some sort of letter reading "apple tree experiment #" to keep rogue horticulturists at bay, just to see what happens.

                  1. @critialcloudkicker That would be really cool to plant your apple trees out! Someday you might get back to it to pick the apples. Good luck!
