        *update *

        the seeds are really growing well and are about 6 inches high I have planted for now in a old huge rose pot, my question is do I pinch them out or just leave ???

          I'm sorry, I haven't a clue:dunno:

          Which ones are the edible ones and which are poisonous?

          As they both look the same in a fruit bowl:snork:
