After the successful attempt with lemon, well, at least so far, my edible garden adventure continues with another species in the series, mandarin orange. A pack of them bought recently tasted so naturally sweet unlike others before. So I decided to try to grow some.
I collected some 12 seeds from one orange. I dried them under the sun for a while, the same technique used for the lemon seeds last time. I peeled three of them and left the rest as they are. Just to see if this makes any difference. Experiment. As usual. Scientist at heart. I then covered them with moistened kitchen towel folded according to my creativity and put them in a not-so-tight container for about two weeks to hopefully germinate.

Putting it on the blog also helps me to keep track of the important dates. So next update would be by the end of the month, some two weeks from now.
