Growing Avocado

I have an overripe avocado.  Since we are busy with Spring planting I thought Beauty might enjoy getting this set up.  Here's a video on how to do it.

 I really like the information from Hand Grown in California.

I had one avocado tree before but I managed to kill it.  Or rather, the weather killed it.  Mr. Father and I have plans in the works for a greenhouse next Spring.  If this seed sprouts it should live pretty happily in a greenhouse during the winter.

All the supplies needed.

Beauty cuts the avocado, removes and washes the seed off.

 

 Mrs. Mother helped insert toothpicks.  Beauty set the seed in the glass, filled with enough water and placed it next to the kitchen window.  Now we wait.
