Project Avo – the beginning

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Oliver

Something I have never done, but always wanted to try, is growing my own Avocado tree. And since we are now living in warmer climates, I think the chances or success are actually pretty OK.

And a new year has started. Time to try something (else) new! So here we go.

Coming home from work tonight I found that Willemijn had prepared taco’s for us, which included a (quite tasty) Avocado. So I thought I’d give this whole Avo-tree-thing a try.

A quick search on the internet brought me to this video and the realisation that growing an Avo tree does not have to be difficult. This is what I did:

Step 1: Get the Avocado pit out of the fruit and clean it.

Step 3: Insert three toothpicks at an angle into the top of the pit.

Step 4: Place in water and put into the window.

Now the waiting begins. I’ll keep you posted.

Leuk joh! Ik ben benieuwd of het gaat lukken. Hebben jullie al meer groente en fruit om zelf te kweken?
Liefs .. Karin

  We zijn aan het expirimenteren, De courgette groeit als een dolle! De bonen en de pepermunt hebben wat last gehad van onze vakantie, maar die gaan het wel weer redden, Wellicht dat het bij de 3 bonen blijft, maar er zitten nog wat blaadjes aan,
