Any guesses as to what this is...its the start of our avocado tree. Miren decided that we should plant the avocado pit to grow avocados for Kyra. I have discovered that my ability to grow plants in AZ is pretty close to 0, but to humor her I looked on the web to see what needed to be done. And you apparently have to submerge one end of the avocado pit in water for 4-6 weeks until it sprouts. Then once it sprouts and develops roots it can be planted in soil. Then it usually takes 4-6 years before it produces avocados. I told Miren this, but what she heard was different. What Miren Heard: We will put the avocado pit in water and tomorrow it will sprout and we can give Kyra the fruit that we have grown in one night. Oh well! Reality: we will keep the pit until it sprouts then we will have a discussion about how cool it is but how we do not really have a good place to grow an avocado tree.
