Experimental Garden 2023 : Kumquat /day1, day 39

Day 39  15mar2023
100% germination
(had accident, the tray fell over when i moved it around, so I re-potted all the stuff, and discovered a lot of hidden seeds w germination starting, which was still not visible.  result: All 13 germinated)

Day 1  6feb2023
The most tasty kumquats i have tasted came from Guilin, paper thin skin, very sweet, and fragrant.  The vendors told me be careful, dont eat too much you will get an upset stomach.  I ate I think one pound, like grapes, skin and all.  I am sure I had kept the seeds to grow, but I dont have any records of it.
Now is the time.  :)
These are not as sweet nor paper thin skin, but still very very good.
Kumquat tea infusion with honey.  Very good for throat, for singing.

I watch a couple of youtubes - lots of diy videos - to see how to do the seeding properly, you must peel the husk from the seeds, so they germ easily, and you should rinse the seeds clean.  Which I did not do, so i removed two seeds and peeled them.  Just to see if they do germ faster.
