Avocado Pit Preparation for Lazy Growers

Ok, so now you've enjoyed your Avocado. Wash and save the pit! I've read that it's best to get it into water right away.

As you can see, some have started to open up and I'd be wise to take the next step suspending them in a glass of water with tooth picks. The trick is to KNOW which side is the bottom! The bottom is the fatter end with the root bump. If you do it right, it'll look a little like this:


More on this, and waiting for a tap root, in the next post!
