So... my children were introduced to the wonder of the star fruit the other day.  They loved them so much that I had to buy 3 more that day for them.  They devour them when I buy them now.  This last couple I got, I was careful to not slice all the seeds and collected a few un-sliced ones.

I have looked online, and most people seem to just say that it's an easy plant to get started, but due to it's need for a tropical environment and fast growth, these are very difficult plants to cultivate indoors and potted in colder regions.

Well, fuck the nay-sayers... I'm giving it a try.  I planted them around a four inch starter pot in a starter soil, watered them, and now they are sitting with the brain flower plants that have sprouted, my daughter's cherry tomato sprouts, and the blue eye sprouts that didn't seem to germinate very well with only about six sprouts total.

So, we'll see how it will go.
