My little avocado plant dried out a bit last week. I watered it and documented it's perking up process.
The trash can in the background is an aesthetic insult. I used it to put garden waste in. Shortly after this photo sequence I repotted the plant and gave her a bigger home for the winter. Since it is starting to be frosty at night, I have her inside. The plant in the background is a Lavender. I have had it since I was in my apartment in 2005. I decided to take it out of the pot and shake off the old dirt, and replace it with some fresh soil. While doing that, I found an ant hill in the pot and many little red ants were scurrying around. The lavender stays in the potting shed for the winter. The fourth photo shows a little terra cotta pot in the background. It has hens and chicks (a succulent plant) installed. My father took that home to keep inside for the winter.
I grew this little avocado from a pit from an avocado fruit early in the spring of 2011. My grand-daughter gave it a set back. When it was about 7 inches high she yanked it out of the pot and snapped off the tip of the lead shoot, and pulled it out of the soil. I tenderly replaced it and hoped it would not die. The early cutting caused the seedling to shoot up two branches, where the one had been. This plant is a survivor!
