As a mid-winter project, grow plants from fruit seeds

Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, and pomegranates may have viable seed. Germinate them in a light, potting-soil mixture containing half peat moss. Keep seeds well watered in a warm location. If seedlings fail to appear in six weeks, try again with new seeds. Citrus plants grown from seeds generally don’t produce flowers or fruit, but have attractive shiny-leaved foliage.
