happy avocado day!


I found instructions for growing an avocado plant from a pit the other night, and thought I would give it a try. Two days ago, I pierced the pit with the toothpicks, and now it's sitting there, partially submerged. It's supposed to take 2-6 weeks for any signs of sprouting. It seems to be a pretty foolproof plan, but some pits seem to be duds. Judging by my amaryllis bulb record, I won't get my hopes up too high. To see what this will hopefully eventually look like, meet Todd the Avocado Plant and see this beautiful shot of the avocado plant's leaves.
