Project 136:Growing an avocado tree from a pip!

We have done these as kids, but never got this far!

Make small holes on the sides of your clean avocado pip.  Stick a match or tooth pick into every hole.  Use a container(I used recycled tins) and balance the pip on the rims.  Fill the container with water, and fill it up with fresh water every other day.....and wait.......first the root will appear, and just as you think 'that's it' the leaves will appear!  It can be planted out now after some weeks, but unfortunately it does not grow in our climate.  But I am going to plant it in a pot for now and place it on the patio and bring it in during the winter.......
