The latest news

On the avocado front, Charlie has sprouted his first stalk out of the top. It's only an inch an a half tall at the moment, so I will still have to wait a while before the first pruning. His roots were starting to coil around in the jam jar, so I have planted him into soil today.

Keith is growing leaves of a few centimetres in length (I love mixing up measuring systems).

As for Ronnie... well, he was the avocado nut I stuck straight into soil. No sign of anything at all as of yet. Might be a dud?!

Keith's side line

Keith is starting to grow a side shoot - so the trimmings didn't finish him off. According to Keith Mossman, I should let this one grow until it reaches the height I want for my avocado plant. Then I should nip out the top.
Keith... and this website is determined to put in all my photos on their sides! Aghhh....
