Grow from Produce Section
Not all seeds or pits will grow when you start them from the grocery store produce section. Many imported fruits and vegetables are irradiated which kills the seed. Try fruits and vegetables from your local farmer's market or grown in the USA.
The PITS - is a website that believes "the produce section of your supermarket is full of seeds - still inside the original fruit! These seeds are fresh and, in most cases, at the peak of their viability. Every time you discard a "pit," from an avocado or a mango or from any citrus fruit, you are throwing away a beautiful houseplant. When you throw out the top leaves of a pineapple, a carrot or a beet, you are depriving yourself." The website provides handy tips on growing all sorts of plants.
