[INDOOR-GARDENING:321] Re: figs and citrus

You Haven't  done anything incorrect.  But next time try not to use all
Caps, makes your message hard to read.  If you wish to grow from market seed
(fruit and berry) don't put them in the refrigerator, the cold can hurt the
seeds. I always soak my seeds in milk, seems to give them a good start.

I started a Fig tree, by allowing the fruit to decompose on the growing mix
I had.  Good luck, I think fig trees are pretty.
