The rare seeds have arrived. 2 varieties of decorative palms, cactus fruit, coffee plants and kiwi. They came in re-sealable plastic bags the size of a big stamp and their names written with a black marker pen. I wonder how many packets of rare seeds this ebay seller managed to get out of the original packets. Inspirational

I wonder if coffee plants would do well on a shielded south facing balcony. I’m thinking of my friend B, she who likes heathers. I have a feeling this plant may win her over. She is not into fruit in a big way, apart from citrus, and they need conservatories to crop. But coffee plants may be of interest. I grew a dozen or so coffee plants on a south facing balcony in Denmark years ago. The plants flowered but didn’t fruit. I loved them for their dark shiny leaves. I’m also curious about the Kiwi seeds. Surely it would be easier and more sensible to buy a grown plant complete with variety and care instructions but where’s the fun in that? I’ll be starting in the new year. These little fellows are going in the propagator in the first week of January.
