Haven't posted in a while and thought I'd get back into it with some photos of my avocado seedling!

The seed is from an organic avocado and this was my first attempt at growing one, so I feel lucky as I've heard it can be difficult. It took a good long while for anything to happen and I thought it was dead, but I gave it more time and it eventually sprouted. It's a little tall, so I pruned two small leaves this morning. We'll see what happens!

I believe it was started in February, so you're looking at a little less than four months.

I was just going to put it in a pot and have it be a houseplant until I move to a warmer area and then plant it in the ground.
 
So it takes a day for light to pass through this glass? So this was yesterday's tiny ad?
