I’m cultivating a baby avocado plant! A couple of weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to try growing an avocado plant from seed. After a few friends and I made an excellent dish of guacamole, I saved a couple of the avocados’ large seeds. I did a little research prior to starting the seeds, so I knew what I was in for. All I really had to do was rinse the remaining avocado off the seed, insert three toothpicks into it to balance it on the edges of a small container, and submerge it halfway in water. This split seed is only one of three that I’ve started to cultivate and it got a head start because it had already started germinate while still in the avocado I used to make guacamole. It’s grown quite a bit since I first placed it in water and I’m hoping that it continues to do well.
