# First time growing an avocado seed. I placed it in a ziplock baggie…

First time growing an avocado seed. I placed it in a ziplock baggie wrapped in a damp napkin I left it in the dark for a couple months and after it sprouted roots I placed it in water for a few weeks now. I’m so happy is finally growing a leaf. \*Proud momma\*

That’s awesome… I might have to try this. How fun.

I was thinking on making my kids try it as a science project so they can learn how things grow ☺️
