Growing Avocados from Seed __ "After eating an avocado, it is hard to resist planting its seed. To get the seed sprouting quickly, it needs immediate planting. Indoor gardeners have developed their own "traditional" planting method.

The seed could also be planted in potting soil, but this misses some of the fun of watching the roots and the shoots grow." So, what are you waiting for?
