Jeff's Grandpa, Victor, grew these amazing Easter Egg Ornamental Plants this summer. He planted one up for me but mine unfortunately did not grow any eggs (I blame it on our miserable non-summer). Victor's did quite well, however, and he just sent me these photos of them.
The plant grew from seeds available from McKenzie. The egg is actually a non-edible fruit, that turns yellow as it matures (which you can see here on the seed packet.) Pretty neat hey?
Victor also grows tobacco plants for an interesting garden feature. He grew these beauties from seeds the size of ground pepper (see photo). I think if I ask nicely he may give me some to grow in the garden centre next summer!
