Growing an avocado tree from seed

I always save avocado seeds because I hate throwing away something that has the potential be so freaking great. Usually the seeds sit by my sink until they turn black and shrivel up. Or I start the process and forget to water the seed. Hopefully this blog in progress will help me stay on task.

Step 1

I gathered some baby food jars and suspended the seeds halfway in water with various pointy things and sat them in front of a window in the kitchen. I will change out/add water as needed and update as soon as I see any action. The seed should split and send roots down into the water. 

Now we play the waiting game...
