Project Honeydew - kickoff

It's Chinese New Year and festive season kicked in full swing as the week holiday follows :) This week i wanna try the paper towel method on honeydew. Now after reading more on sprouting, grafting, growing quality fruits and cross pollination, I've becoming more conscious on finding organic and heirloom seeds.

But for today, this is a honeydew that my MIL bought from the seller along the highway. I believe it's not organic otherwise the price would've been expensive. I'm just gonna give it a go let's see how the fruits turn out to be.

Get some honeydew seeds preferably organic

Spread them on paper towel and spray the towel with water to keep it wet

Label the plastic clearly. Gong Xi Fa Cai huat ah huat ah!

  1. Cut the honeydew into two, get a few slices and eat :) you should already be getting a handful of seeds. Slimy, shiny, pretty, seeds.
  2. I then cleaned the seeds to avoid mold forming.
  3. Place the seeds down on a kitchen towel. Fold the towel so the seeds wont fall out from the sides.
  4. Sprinkle some water to wet the paper towel.
  5. Again i have run out of zip-lock bag so i took a plastic bag and seal it with masking tape. Put date and name label on it.
  6. Put aside in a warm, dark corner. I keep mine in a drawer.
  7. Set a weekend reminder on scheduler, and wait....
