Update on Avocado Pit

Update on Avocado Pit

      Well, I'm going to wait to post on how to plant citrus trees for now, I promise I will post it soon! It's just a lot to type out right now and frankly, I don't feel like typing it all tonight ha ha. 

     So, instead I will update you on everything I have growing. The only thing to date that has sprouted up are still my Lemon Trees, but everything else is either a bit over a week or a bit under a week since I've planted/germinated. Currently I have some hopes to see my Red Grapefruit start sprouting up soon, should be within a week or so when they should sprout if they are as fast as a Lemon, which I imagine all citrus fruit are probably roughly around the same length before they sprout. I also planted my Orange seeds a couple nights ago and decided to try germinating them between damp paper towels in a container as well to see if that worked well for me. I currently have some Golden Delicious Apple seeds in my fridge right now germinating in their own container.

     Now the only thing that has shown any development as of right now besides my Lemons is my Avocado pit. I just went in to check on my planted seedlings when I noticed a very faint crack down one side of my Avocado pit. This is progress! I am hoping to see the pit widen within the next few days and hopefully get the tap root out! This would be a very quick germination for an Avocado indeed! My fingers and toes are crossed that this is a speedy germination and not just some little tease that my Avocado is playing on me.

     Anyways, that is my update, although short, and possibly boring compared to my last posts. But I will post more tomorrow or the day after.

P.S. ...I'm trying to convince myself not EVERY post needs a picture... haha.
