my small apricot tree (in the greenhouse) blossomed for the first time this year, after several years waiting patiently so I thought I would try sowing more apricot and nectarine seeds from some shop bought fruit and lo and behold they have germinated after only a couple of weeks :o
so if anyone wants to try this you need to gently hammer the nectarine or apricot stone so as not to damage the kernal inside (not so easy, but if you have a few to try with you'd be bound to get a few), then sow the kernals in small pots with ordinary compost - if you are the patient type and have space in your greenhouse or conservatory, this has to be worth it :)
