Avocado

To grow an avocado tree from a pit, remove the pit from the avocado and wash off any remaining fruit. Stick three toothpicks into the pit, equidistant around its circumference, and suspend the pit over a jar of water so that the bottom half of the pit is submerged. Place the jar in a warm, sunny spot and wait for the pit to sprout roots and a shoot. When the shoot is several inches long, cut it back to encourage the growth of a strong root system. Once the root system is well established, transfer the pit to a pot filled with soil.
