Growing citrus from seed is always a long game, but these bergamot seeds have been reliable so far. The seedlings are healthy, and I�m enjoying the process of nurturing them day by day.
I wasn�t sure how these would do in my cooler climate, but they�ve adapted nicely indoors with a grow light. The leaves are fragrant already, which makes me confident about the future harvest.
I�ve grown lemons and limes before, but bergamot oranges are new to me. They�re growing nicely in containers, and I�m excited to see how the flavor compares. Definitely a fun gardening project.
I live in a colder state, so I started these indoors in small containers. They adapted well and are growing steadily under a grow light. I�ll keep them inside year-round, and I�m happy with that.
I�ve been obsessed with Earl Grey tea for years, so I decided to grow my own bergamot oranges. The plants are thriving under plenty of sun, and I can�t wait to make tea from my own fruit.
