In an effort to save some cash, I decided to look up what i can grow form seed from produce i buy at the grocery store. There are dozens of things you can grow. The herbs mentioned can be grown from the "fresh herb" bunches you get. Heres the list ive got so far. IF you have anything to add that isnt there please do so....Passion flower, papaya, dragon fruit, star fruit, grapefruit, lemon, lime, pinneapple, ginger oregano, tarragon, sage and marjoram mint,oregano, thyme, rosemary cardamom, lychee, poppy seed, olive, apples, cherrries, peanut, kumquat, tangerine, non roasted coffe beans, sweet potatoe, coconut, lemon grass, pommagranete, nectarines, tamarillo, malagna, goji berry, galangal root, cumin, cucumber, pppers, melons(cantelope, watermelon, honeydew etc),taro, almonds, walnuts, hazle nuts, brazil nuts,(uncooked seeds in shell), uncooked wheat, barley, oats , sugar cane, all dehydrated beans, beets, prickly pear fruit, pear, carrots(they flower and seed if you plant the tops), yam, arrowroot, yucca cassava, tomato, cucumber, apples, plums, papaya, garlic, green onions, leeks, cilantro, ....Now some mentioned are hybrids and wont grow true from seed(part of the suprise!), but some like key limes and grapefruit grow true from seed. Youll usualy get something good out of what you plant. The extras can be givin away or sold as houseplants, or patio plants(citrus trees).
