Planted the first grape vine that came up.

A few more of those, some time, some yeast (and a few other ingredients), and...

Of course, I oversimplify, but I know what I'd do if I had grapes.

The bucket is sitting here in the living room waiting to be decanted and bottled.

Can't remember what kind of seed I stuck in this pot last winter. Looks like an orange tree seedling.

How did you get your lemons to grow faster?
Mine have looked the same for months. I can see activity (bark forming, leaves dying) but not much growth and I don’t know what to expect.

If you want them to grow big, you have to put them in big pots. I had one when I lived in PA that I put in an old milk box. It was at least 2' tall when I gave it away.

If you cramp their root space like you are doing, you are forcing them to stay small.

Just transplanted them.
Does that last one have a chance?

I would put them in at least 3 gallon or bigger pots.

Time will tell if it will get better.
