From Supermarket to Supper: Growing Kiwis at Home
Grow Your Own Kiwis: A Simple Guide Growing your own kiwis is easier than you might think. Simon Akeroyd, a gardener and author of 30 gardening books, shows us how in a recent TikTok video. The video, which has garnered millions of views, details how to extract seeds from supermarket kiwis and nurture them into thriving plants. Akeroyd begins by cutting a kiwi in half and carefully scooping out the seeds. He emphasizes the importance of letting them dry for a few days before planting. The seeds are then sprinkled over compost in a small pot, covered with a freezer bag to maintain humidity, and placed on a sunny windowsill. "It's all about patience," Akeroyd says in the video, "and giving the seeds the right conditions to germinate." After several weeks, tiny kiwi plants emerge. Akeroyd demonstrates how to carefully prick them out and repot them as they grow, ensuring optimal space and nourishment. The video concludes with an image of mature kiwi plants, laden with the delicious fruit, proving the method's success. This simple technique offers a rewarding and sustainable way to enjoy homegrown kiwis, making it a valuable lesson for both experienced and novice gardeners.
