Avocado & Bamboo

If you have read this blog before, then you would know that I once had an avocado plant. If you are good or even only fair at deducing facts and forming conclusions, then you would know that I was both proud and fond of said avocado plant.

My wife just told me of a technique to use to get an avocado pit to sprout into an avocado plant. It is done by taking an avocado pit, like the one pictured above, and half submerging it in water, as pictured above. Then, it is to be placed in sunlight.

You may, or may not, be interested to learn that in the background is a picture of bamboo shoots that my wife planted/submerged in water about two years ago. When she got them from the store they had but only one or two small leaves on each shoot. Now look at them. They are pictured on this blog because they are related to plants, although they are not something I planted.

You can expect to see things related to plants on this blog, even if I did not myself plant the plants or plant-related items. You cannot realistically expect to see things totally unrelated to plants on this blog, unless I planted those things. But that is unlikely to happen. True, members of my family have planted things that were not and could not become plants (Grandpa and Otto planting money, for example). Still, the chances of me planting something that is not a plant and putting it on this blog are small. Also, keep in mind that just because I plant something, like a flag, for example, does not mean that I automatically have to make a blog post about it.
