Green Update


Sure enough, the Kumquat seeds have made their way into the soil. I decided to plant them with haste because I read that citrus seeds, unlike most other seeds, have to be planted immediately into damp, pressed soil so they do not dry out. The key to growing these guys is keeping them moist at all times. Kumquats are generally not grown from seeds but are more commonly grafted onto orange trees in places like China and Japan. The kumquat can be eaten whole, candied, or made into a marmalade. Let's see how they do.

Here are a few dried avocado skins. They have shriveled and hardened to form some nice organic shapes. I haven't come up with a use for them yet but I think they could be made into some nice handmade jewelry or painted ornaments.
