Avocado

I'm being given an avocado plant today from a lady who has lots. This is her germination method:-
"I peel the brown skin off then wrap them in wet paper and put them in a plastic butter box in a cupboard and forget about them. They all eventually split and grow roots."

I like the "forget about them" advice.

I’m trying this method. They’ve been in there plastic tub since Monday. I forgot to say.

It worked! Look what I found today

   

I found the little plastic tub while rooting around in the pink bucket looking for something else. It’s been in that bucket outside all winter because my polytunnel decided to leave (literally) last autumn. With another bucket upturned over it, so it didn’t fill with water. I was amazed when I saw the little shoot through the lid of the tub. He’s planted up now. Fingers crossed he grows. First one I’ve ever got to do anything. So very happy.
