Promised to place an update on my Kiwano seedlings. I am not sure if anyone is still reading this but if you are, there you go! Out of all seedlings I kept three of them in a container and they are growing very well behind glass in the heat. I did not put my Kiwanos in full sunlight, as opposed to t...

Hi, Glad they found a home! Your photo made me think, as I also have the free seeds (along with many more - I am a seedaholic) - has anyone ever tried to grow herbs such as Rosemary or thyme from seed?? Would you ever try?
