We spent part of our Labor Day weekend Sunday getting some more landscaping work done outside, turning the soil over, mixing in some peat moss, and planting the latest batch of flowers and plants that have been donated to us. With that accomplishment out of the way, we spent the evening indoors, catching up on our Netflix subscription movie and feeding our craving for some late-night munchies. We fended off the urge to order some late night Jimmy John's or Pizza Pit sandwiches, and instead I whipped up a quick batch of one of our favorite meals, avocado and crab.
Once the movie and meal were finished, I decided to use the leftover avocado pit to try our hand at growing an avocado tree. Apparently it's fairly easy to get one started, and this picture shows our first attempt, started tonight. If things go according to plan, the roots will come out the bottom in the water, the stem will shoot up out the top, and eventually we can move to a pot. While we may never get a tree that produces edible avocado fruit, it'll still be neat if we can just get a tree that survives indoors and looks nice!
