Does anyone know if you can germinate grape seeds?


I dumped the press cake from last years merlot over the hill away from
my house last year to keep some of the fruit flies at bay.I was
trimming brush the other day and found seven baby vines growing.
Pretty cool having those vines growing there , but I'm pretty sure
they won't survive a western PA winter. Shame I don't have a green
house.


A little off the main topic concerning grapes, but along this same line, I
was sitting on my porch some years ago (8-10) eating a Mandarin orange
purchased from the local grocery. Just happened to be a potted plant within
arm's length, sans the plant as it had died. I dropped the seeds in it to
get rid of them, and on a whim decided to go ahead and punch them down in
the soil. I have two beautiful Mandarin orange trees in the backyard now
and more oranges than I know what to do with. Anyone have a Mandarin orange
wine recipe? :^)
