I have also started to try to grow Avocado plants out of Avocado seeds..

All you have to do in get a seed from an Avocado and poke a couple of holes in it- on the sides w/toothpicks and place in a mason jar or clear cup with water...barely touching the water and

once it has a few leaves and some growth you can then move to a pot w/soil...

I hope you have better luck then I have....

Here are some Gardening/Outdoor Décor. Books I have been reading lately to prepare for this year.

1. Better Homes and Gardens - Inside Out - It has tons of ideas for making the outside just as beautiful as the inside of a home.

2. Garden Anywhere by : Fowler - a Wonderful Book I Love! It also tell you how to grow an Avocado plant and how to compost and etc.. I recommend you Read this one for sure!

3. Native American Gardening by: Wilson - Is a Great Read because it tells you how gardening was done back before we came along. Plus I Love History & Gardening .

Happy Gardening & Reading Yall!
