Around the 1st of the year (may have been late December) Aiden guy wanted to save his seeds. So he took it upon himself to place his treasures into a wet paper towel where I placed it in a bag and hung it on the cabinet. A few days ago we noticed that two of them sprouted. So into a container they went.
The next day seed number 1 looked like this....
and seed number 2 like this
Today after just 3 days in the dirt you can begin to see tree number 1 growing it's true leaves.
And Tree number 2 although much smaller also shows signs of true leaves emerging.
Aiden is extremely happy with himself and his 9 year old sister Shannon is unhappy...she has been trying to grow and orange tree from seed and thus far no luck.

How cool! What a great learning experience for the kids. They'll be hooked on gardening for sure now.
