It's not hot enough, is it for them?
I still haven't planted my basil & tomatoes. I should do that today.

I will put them in containers and move them back in this winter.
If not, I have 3 of the plants and 3 friends from Florida who will need a gift for something.

Bee, I had an avocado at my old house and it was taller than my house. My house was just a regular ol ranch house, so I would guess 12-14' high.

But they sure look pretty sprouting from the pit.

But it only has a few leaves.
Course it might stunts it's growth.
How many do you pinch? it's got a leaf bud on it and little leaves coming out the side.
I don't want it nekkid.

I'd let it get about 2-3 feet before I start pinching it.
Got to get home. See y'all later.

I've never eaten a avocado so don't know what they taste like.

They are not very tasty to me. High in fat also.

They use them in guacamole.
They make a cute plant tree.
