103008 Avocado Haircutgrowth

My love for eating avocados has grown into my ability to plant and make new ones from the seeds I have been collecting throughout the year. Do I have a green thumb or what! Every time I throw a seed into some potting soil, avocados would sprout in a few months. Since this began to happen I decided to buy some pots and potting soil w/ worm compost, and plant a seed in each one. Lo and behold, after a month or two, all the avocados started to grow, and all at the same time! The right is a picture right before the haircut.  The left picture is my  trim since they were all over 12 inches tall. You should be pinching the tips off when they grow new buds in order for the plant to become fuller by having more branches sprout out, but I just chopped them down to their stalks.  In my experiment, I wanted to see if more branches would grow from the stem. Good sunlight should cause the growth spurts to occur, which can be seen in the middle picture. And thus….This is green capacity to the fullest! What you bring into your home, stays in your home. And also, introducing, my soldier of the bunch!
