Charlie is taking root - textbook style

And on more exciting news on the avocado, Charlie is growing just as Keith Mossman said they would grow in the water jar method - two roots!!!

Cutting Keith Down to Size

Keith Mossman recommends that when your avocado sprouts, let the lead shoot grow to six inches, and then cut it back to four inches - otherwise you're going to get a monster of a plant which isn't going to be suitable for a house plant. I never thought I'd even get this far, but yes, Keith was trimmed today...

 This is Keith before the trimmings... and then...

Good Morning Sleepy Head!

I never thought I'd manage to get this far, especially considering the fact I've had to throw out about 3 avocado nuts now. But Keith has actually woken up after all this time.... it's not a lot yet, but it's actually something!!!! I never suceeded with getting to see the roots in a jam jar, but at least there's a stalk now.

Why will this stupid website not upload photos the right way around....????







On other news, a third clemtine has hatched!

Seriously.... none of my photos want to come through correctly. Perhaps the website is sleeping at the moment and needs all the photos on their sides so it can look at them properly.
