I am trying my hand at growing a donut peach from seed. Picked some up at an ethnic shop and got excited about its scent and taste. So I have planted two seeds, one cracked, one as is. I was really excited to learn about the crfg.org - I am interested in growing fruit different from the same old, same old sold down in supermarkets! And I like the idea of having a peach tree that gives peaches that you can get seed from to grow new trees with (I guess the Dutch reputation for being stingy is well-earned ...)

Then there is a coconut that I have planted. Don't know if it will do anything - they need heat to germinate and lately it has been a cool summer here. But, it's worth a shot.

Finally, I have just sown some aristochlia elegans (Dutchman's Pipe).
