Lemon Trees

Not sure what type of lemons we bough from the store, but I took the seeds out of some. My daughter and I are trying to grow them. I looked over many web sites and found that the tree might not produce fruit and if it does it will take years. Then the fruit may or may not look and taste like the lemon I took the seeds from. Not a big deal to me. This is only for fun and my daughter is learning how to journal with this project, so if nothing but that comes from this then I am happy. We started the seeds on the 11th of Feb. and on the 13th we looked at them because I found some mold on the paper towel. Most the seed shells have cracked. It was neat and my daughter was excited about that. I washed the seed that had mold and changed the paper towel. Then today I saw that two seeds are now growing the mold. I took all the shells off the seeds and washed the two seeds with mold. I separated the seeds growing mold into their own paper towel and hoping that has solved the problem. If that does not work I will try something else before tossing them in the trash. I also feel the house is not warm enough for the seeds to germinate. It is a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit so we will see. I am keeping the seeds near the window during the day as the sun warms that area well.

(The first picture is of the 5 seeds with the shells still on them. The second picture is of the 6 th seed we added. I took of the shell of that one before I took the shell off the others.)
