This year we are attempting to grow new varieties of fruits and vegetables for our families needs. Our children love kiwi and could eat a half dozen a piece. So we decided to grow them. they are a little expensive to buy as a plant so we bought seeds for $4.00 and hey we will see if what we can do with them. Will they grow? Will they even germinate?
I sowed the seeds in some potting soil on January 26Th 2009 and kept the soil moist but not wet. It took a while but on Feb. 18Th we noticed a few were sprouting.

As of Feb 23rd a total of 6 seeds have sprouted.
This week the hardy kiwis have been growing well and have a "true" leaf.

We are all very excited about how well they are growing. For the first time ever growing them I think we have had success so far.
