Trying to grow Avocados

I'll have to bring them in during winter where I live, but the seeds come free when you buy the fruit, so I figured I'd give 'em a shot. Google said this was the best way to sprout them. 

 

IMPORTANT: Avocado is toxic to cats (and dogs)! Oni, who you see in this picture, is never in this room unsupervised and is only interested in the pits because I'm photographing them. He sniffed them and then walked away ๐Ÿ‘Œ

    It is wondrous that animals know what's good or bad for them.ย

      Most of the time lol ๐Ÿ˜† Oni was a stray so he's got street smarts. My other cat, Juniper, who we found as a kitten, gets it twisted sometimes on what is or isn't dangerous ๐Ÿ˜…

    I just stick them in a pot of dirt and keep it watered. Sometimes you find them already sprouting in the fruit.

      I haven't been so lucky to find one already sprouted yet, but next time I'll try the dirt and see what happens ๐Ÿค“

      I'm not sure I'd say I "like" them lol ๐Ÿ˜† they're pretty bland and the texture is weird, but they do add a coolness to nachos that I appreciate ๐Ÿ˜‹ย
