URBAN GARDENING: Plant your own Avocado





 How to.... Plant an avocado!!!!!!!! yeay what else


An Avocado tree is a beauty-ass plant. Exactly for that reason it is wonderful to see one grow. It takes some years to actually have a plentiful tree, but you will be able to say that you grew it yourself. 
Reminds me of answering "thanks I grew it myself" when someone says that you have nice hair.
To return to avocados, I love them, I could eat 10 avocados a day. And I love gardening, its my other hobby apart from sewing clothes. And as I never had a big garden this is perfect for everyone who only has a balcony or just a windowsill. It doesn't matter.

So for whoever never tried to prepare an avocado, and if you actually bought one to grew your own avocado plant, I will just tell you my favorite way to eat them. You will probably love it even if you made bad experiences with them. When I ate an avocado the first time i just spooned it up and I almost got sick from it. Okay that was a bad avocado and the wrong way to eat it.

So do it like this:
1. Mash the avocado (BIO if you want to plant it) with salt, pepper and chilli flakes (yes, chilli flakes, trust me)
2. Toast whole wheat bread 
3. Wash fresh green spinach

4. Pile up everything, and put on as much spinach as possible
5. Awh yummie
6. Now EAT IT! :-)


When you are finished taking a break from that hard work and enjoying your delicious and healthy sandwich we can go on to the urban gardening part which i mentioned.

Anyways, you should let the seed dry out for one or two days. When it's dried out take two or three wooden chopsticks and stick them in the avocado stone. Fill a jar with water and Put the seed on the surface of the water. It should now be half covered with water.
After a few weeks it will break up and a sprout will start growing out of it.
That will be the day when you can plant it.
