10 Jan 2019: my friend told me I can slice up a tomato, take the rind/skin off and lay it on a bed of soil and scatter a light layer of soil over it. Water and let it grow! I did just that with store bought perino tomatoes. 16 Jan 2019: 3 tomato seedlings. 22 Jan 2019: More seedlings. 30 Jan 2019: no new seedling and 2 seedlings started drooping down. Decided to repot the healthy strong looking ones into little cups. And left some to see if they still survive. 5 Feb 2019: More seedlings sprouted from the original box! V And the ones in their own cups still looks ok. They have extra leaves. 27 Feb 2019 - seedlings are varied in sizes. Seems like depending on pot size. Some seedling died due to strong wind. Current location is indoor.
25 Jan 2019 - Since the first batch hasn't shown much activity, I decided to try another 4 seeds ( store bought organic Valencia oranges). With advices gathered from various websites to peel off the outer layer/shell of the seeds. This is suppose to help it sprout much faster. 5 Feb 2019 - no activity above soil. 27 Feb 209 - 3 seeds sprouted. The smallest seedling is a twin.
26 Jan 2019: Honey gold mango seeds are polyembryonic. Meaning one seed can produce multiple seedlings. Read that only polyembryonic mangoes will grow true to the fruit. I removed the hard shell/husk before planting into some all purpose soil. Leaving a bit of seed exposed. 5 February 2019: No activity above soil. 25 Feb 2019 - unsuccessful, the seed rotted and had tiny maggots eating it! So scary. Disposed off.
