Window Sill Garden Update!

Avocado

Remember this little guy? The avocado pit I put in water back in January?

It's taken a little longer to grow than I expected. (Perhaps that is due to the fact that I put it in the water UPSIDE-DOWN!  But once I fixed it, the roots shot out and down into the water.)  It has quickly grown too big for the tiny jar I had it in.

                       

Looks like it's time for an upgrade!

My little avocado plant seems so much happier in its new home. I'm waiting to put it in a pot with dirt until it has a few leaves on it. This might take a while. 

After a few weeks in its new jar, my avocado pit has been growing like crazy. The roots are longer and thicker and there's even a tiny sprout coming out of the top!

Now that I've had a little success with this pit, I've started another.  Here it is after just a few days in water.

Pineapple

The pineapple has been doing well, I think. I've been changing the water every other day which has seemed to help keep the algae growth down.  I don't know when it will be strong enough to plant in a pot, so I'll keep it in it's jar for a while longer.

Celery

I found out that you could regrow celery from stumps, so I thought I'd try my hand at it.

Look at the sprouts after just a few weeks! I was very impressed with the growth here!

Mint

Here is my mint plant in February and again in May.

 




 Watch for another update later this week on my OUTDOOR GARDEN! I'm so excited about these guys!
