Sadly, I am not much of a green thumb. Most plants I've had, regardless of the nurturing I give to them, end up dying  BUT David (my husband) is a terrific gardener. When we met he had 26 avocado plants in pots on his sun porch. He had grown each plant from an avocado seed! Now, the thing is, avocado trees are...something...there has to be a "male" tree and a "female" tree in order for avocados to grow. I don't know how it works, but I do know a lovely woman who does get avocados from her tree. I believe they have to live in a hot climate. ??
The one incredible success I've had with gardening was when I planted a single seed from a packet of King Sunflower seeds. I planted the seed just outside of a window. Well, that seed sprouted and grew and grew until it got a tremendously large sunflower on it. The stalk was thick! It kept growing taller and taller until it was actually taller than the house! How magnificent was that sunflower! It lived all summer, then when the weather started to cool the huge flower kind-of bent over and shriveled up. But then my kids and I plucked the seeds from the flower and roasted them. It was a fabulous experience.
Lovely thread, Fuzzy dear
