Practicum: Baby Grapefruit Trees

These are the photos of the mostly grapefruit trees (I threw a juice orange seed in one container--I guess I was feeling reckless one night) that were previously discussed in this entry: http://treesforhaiti.blogspot.com/2010/04/grapefruit-development-complex.html

I've since moved them from their cozy spot in my windowsill to my friends balcony. As you can see they need to be replanted into larger, individual containers that have some kind of drainage (nothing fancy, just a little American ingenuity--and by that I likely mean holes punched with a knife)....


















In the container above there are actually two plants growing together as I put two seeds in thinking one had gone dormant...they've been growing together so we'll see what happens!

























In the tin can there are actually three plants growing, two in the center and one on the side (which is the tallest one)...they're looking good with the rain still on their leaves from the night before!

Been busy, more soon....
