Hi Rodney,

Keitts at Aldi's for 39 Cents per pound?

Thanks!

I chose one intentionally soft to try, and the seed already sprouted with root. I will plant the seed tomorrow.

Thanks Rodney!

Post by: RodneyS on November 13, 2017, 05:02:04 PM: Went back to buy more California Keitt, and found they're now 25 cents/each. Get 'em while you can.

One seed already sprouted for me. I put them in a bowl of water with a seedling heat mat for bottom heat

I just eat it and didn't like. It's too acid to me. It's sweet but too acid.
