Avocado is a great food for ultrarunners, and I happen to be on an avocado kick at the moment. I don't know why but I'm suddenly addicted to the feisty green fruit and have been finding ways to include it on virtually everything I'm cooking - sandwiches, hamburgers, salad, pizza, even mixed with lemon juice and spread on toast - hell, I would add it to my beer if I could figure out how. Maybe it's a pregnancy thing (I can see Nancy roll her eyes when she reads this)?!!! Creamy, yummy and delicious - what's there not to like?
So when I came across a great little website that shows you how to grow an avocado tree from the pit I was absurdly excited. What a fun experiment for me and Gavin to do together.
And that is why I have an avocado pit suspended by toothpicks over a glass of water on the windowsill. Gavin keeps coming by to check on it - I think he's expecting it to sprout immediately.
Maybe I'll go make some guacamole while we wait :-)

I've grown several trees over the years. They are nice looking trees and fairly hardy expect for freezes but they will most likely never bear fruit. You have to get a tree or graft from another source to get fruit to bear. Mmmm, I'm getting hungry!
