Not Just For Guacamole

While making guacamole to go with our traditional New Year's Eve nachos, Jeremy mentioned that you can put an avocado pit in water and let it grow. So I looked up this website about different science experiments you can do at home and growing an avocado tree is #2 on the list (counting down from 10).
So Jeremy set it up.

The kids helpfully looked on.

And now we have an avocado pit sitting on our windowsill waiting to grow.

  2. So, has it made any progress yet? We had avocado with our lunch today, and when Paco held up the pit, I thought of your experiment.

  3. The side is splitting. What will happen from that, who knows?
