AVOCADO
Growing an avocado from a pit is one of the easiest ways to grow something edible.
It will take a few years for the tree to mature and bear fruit, but every stage of its
growth is lovely and rewarding to look at.
You can even grow them indoors for a good part of their life cycle.
Clean and prep the whole seed by peeling off the outer skin. Stick 4 toothpicks around the
center 'waist' of the seed, in the North, East, South, West positions. Hang it, with the narrower
side of the seed facing up, over the mouth of a clear jar filled with clean water. Make sure the
bottom half of the seed is in water, while the top half is dry. Change the water every 1-2 days.
Give it ample sunlight and away from rain. Watch it sprout in no time. Once it has several
leaves, you can move it to a pot with soil and watch it shoot up into a gorgeous tree.
