Plants to grow from produce section of grocery store?? tips/rules/advice needed?

found this after using search engine, but nothing else. http://www.bachmans.com/tipsheets/edible鈥?/a>





are there any others i can grow easily from having just the fruit/vegetable/ herb as you find in the store?


more importantly, most of the produce is displayed in a fridge. does the chill or sometimes freeze cause the seeds of all these plants to not grow?


would like to try tomatoes, strawberries, mint and a citrus tree most of all.Plants to grow from produce section of grocery store?? tips/rules/advice needed?
yes... you can grown plants from the seeds taken from the fruits bought from the grocery. but you can't be sure if the seedlings that will grown perform well. some plants are very sensitive to cold temperature and can affect either (good or bad) its performance when cultivated. but if your just finding some excitements, you can experiment on it...Plants to grow from produce section of grocery store?? tips/rules/advice needed?
Some of the ';produce'; plants I've grown:


Avacado (will take 7-10 years for fruit, must have male and female plant)


Pineapple


Spagetti squash


Tangerine


Key Lime


Bell peppers


Cantalope


Watermellon


Tomato





Mint might root in water for you. Be sure to keep it in a pot, Not in the ground, invasive, will take over, almost impossible to get rid of.





Have fun.
I've tried this with avocados and it is a fun experience. The details on how to do it are on the website you mention, so I won't go into that. I actually have five avocado plants of varying size growing in my spare bedroom right now. From what I hear, these plants grown from seed will likely never have avocados, but it really is quite a beautiful plant.
