New Project: Grow an avocado tree!

With the leftover seeds from last night’s guacamole and sangria night, I’m going to attempt to grow these seeds into Hass avocado trees.

If you’ve never done this before, you basically just stick three toothpicks in the seed just enough so that the seed can balance on top of a cup or glass. You then fill the glass with water so that half of the seed stays submerged. Replace the water every 1-2 days to ensure that no mold or bacteria grow and make sure there’s always enough water in the glass. It will take 4+ weeks for the seed to grow enough to be planted in a pot and another few years for the plant to grow some fruit if you can get that far.
