When these seed pods are ready to be transplanted? I just cut them out of the plant once they come out and open the pod and plant the seeds? I need more information for this process, please. I will also like to know how to reproduce them for cuts and how to do it. gmandriotti@hotmail.com thanks, I also have my desert rose with the seed pods, but I was reading many comments, but cannot find the answer.

I've always kept a compost bin though and all the kitchen green waste goes into it as well as the garden waste. On odd thing is that I get a continual growth of potatoes in the compost bin no matter what I do. They are obviously growing from the potatoe peelings that are being put in the bin but I would have thought the heat would stop them growing. But no. I chop them down everytime I go in the bin but the next time they have grown up to the top of the bin again. Maybe I should just accept the inevitable and possibly enjoy the end product!

But i am wondering they have what looks like some branches coming out of the sides. Do you just leave them or what?I don't want to harm them in any way.

What is the best time of the year to plant? 2. What season can I expect the fruit to start coming out, summer perhaps? 3. Are there any insects to fear? Or maybe plant disseases?
