Whilst eating a fig back in November I suddenly decided to plant some of
the seeds. I stuck them in a freezer bag of seed compost, put them on a
window sill and forgot about them. I now have about 20 to 30 seedlings.
What do I do now? Are they worth growing on, or are figs like many other
fruits and best left to experts in their earlier stages?

I did the same thing with dates at Christmas. I now have some stones
with sort of tap roots - these I have planted into small pots, some in
plastic bags, some not. Are they worth carrying on with?


Unless you allow them to grow to maturity, and compare the results with
those of clones of established varieties, you'll never know, will you?
