Citrus Seeds

I found and purchased this book from a lady that was selling a whole bunch of used books. It's called Get Growing - Exciting Indoor Plant Projects for Kids. It's a great book that teaches kids to grow houseplants from fruits and vegetables and their seeds. I love it. So today we started the first project . . . planting a citrus seed. We bought some oranges, grapefruit and a lemon so we could use their seeds. We ate the fruit today so that we can let the seeds dry out for a week as per the instructions and then we'll plant them. I can't wait to see if it actually works! Since I obviously can't post pictures of the plants yet, here are some of the kids trying out the lemon. Ha . . . they make me laugh!

Here are the seeds we collected. As you can see, one bucket is empty. Unfortunately our grapefruit only had the teeny tiny seeds in them and nothing worth keeping. Hey Grandma Z, do you think you could save some grapefruit seeds for us from your breakfast tomorrow morning?
