I saw someone has mentioned the same method to plant avocado seeds. It emphasizes this method must work well. I too must try this method. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Yay! Can't wait to have our own avocados growing :)

I did some research recently. A full grown avacodo tree will give you about 500 bucks a year. Plant 10 of those suckers and youll make some serious dough my friend.

Wow! That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that with me! I'll be sure to plant some more :) I've heard they can get a bit finicky though.

Congratulations on sprouting it! I have a seed in a cup for about 4 weeks now (I read it takes between 2-6) but I don't think its going anywhere.

Looking forward to seeing some updates on this! Good luck.

Thanks so much! Don't lose faith! I didn't think mine was going to sprout, but it finally did! :)
