Do you eat avocados?
I always smile at how hard it is for me to throw away the seed. There’s so much quiet potential tucked inside that little stone — the possibility of a whole avocado tree — and it feels like I’m honouring nature when I give each one a chance to grow.
Some take off, some don’t… and it takes ages. Months of waiting. But there’s something so sweet about watching those tiny roots appear, then that little shoot pushing its way into the world. Before you know it, they’re suddenly tall and leafy, ready for the garden.
I’m not sure if they ever bear fruit — the only one I planted was accidentally whipper-snippered a week later (yes… tragic!). But even that came with a little life lesson: next time, the tree gets a guard!
Anyway, I’d genuinely love to hear your avocado stories. Do you grow them? Do you save the seeds too?
