You take two tooth picks and stick them in the avacado pit so it can be balanced over a glass or water with the bottom end (the fatter end) in the water) and then you watch it split in two and send out roots. It is quite interesting. You will have to keep the water filled up so the roots will be ok. Maybe a little plant food (very little). This could by hydroponic gardening on a small scale.Bernihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393286338757929488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-90121058638750647082007-01-09T01:26:00.000+00:002007-01-09T01:26:00.000+00:00I like it! let the challenge begin! will have to s...I like it! let the challenge begin! will have to steal(borrow) my sisters digital camera again so i can photogrpah my progress.<br />ClaireClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289711208740908594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-50283396784271906512007-01-09T01:24:00.000+00:002007-01-09T01:24:00.000+00:00Do a small pot of each... 3 pots sitting on your l...Do a small pot of each... 3 pots sitting on your ledge are much more gratifying than one!Women on the Vergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048207912750733316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-66847692776004931272007-01-08T23:59:00.000+00:002007-01-08T23:59:00.000+00:00Yes i think i will stay indoors, its the UK and it...Yes i think i will stay indoors, its the UK and its very wet at the mo!(as usual).<br />Hmm Herbs are sounding good but i like the idea of beans(they could be magic!) then again forget me nots sound lovely!<br />Oh dear i am rubbish at decisions!<br />ClairexClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289711208740908594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-68112900225669657102007-01-08T22:33:00.000+00:002007-01-08T22:33:00.000+00:00Beans, they are REALLY easy and QUICK. lol.

Our church used to have a program on Palm Sunday that as you exited the service, the ushers gave a small potted plant to the children. My neighbor, knowing my ineptitude with plants would hand one to each of my three kids, pat me on the shoulder and tell me "Take 'em home, nurse 'em and kill 'em, Jen" Sad but the truth about my green thumb!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-75456498886115336072007-01-08T18:35:00.000+00:002007-01-08T18:35:00.000+00:00I heard a police station was caught growing things...I heard a police station was caught growing things they shouldn't in the bed outside; I reckon some local lag planted it to get their own back. Bit early to try anything from seed straight outside; but if you don't mind buying plants B&Q and such like sell good value trays of pansies etc. Or if you really want to try from seed why not try short summer flowering bulbs instead; maybe in fill with trailers a bit later in the year or ivy now.RUTHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389012059140660415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36805245.post-77402063431777212612007-01-08T17:24:00.000+00:002007-01-08T17:24:00.000+00:00Trust you to take it down the wrong garden path!
