Avocado Pit Update

It's been just over a month and one of our avocado pits now has a root sprouting from the bottom...

and has a nub of growth coming from the top as well.

In fact, by February 27th, it had a root long enough for me to decide I had better place it in a deeper container - so I set it in a glass jar.

It has been sitting in a warm place with indirect sunlight since January 29th. There was a split in the side that grew larger and larger and that's where both the root and the sprout are growing from so I guess that's okay.

The other avocado pit hasn't changed much in the last month though it's side split seems to be getting larger as well. Maybe it will be sprouting soon, too...
