I’ve wanted to grow an avacado tree from a pit but have never had success. A children’s science book, I read recently, suggested putting a fresh pit directly into a pot of an already extablished plant. I used the basil on my patio table.
The next day I found a hole in the dirt where I planted the seed. It was gone.
Squirrels!!!
Today, a day later, the seed, half chewed, was returned to my patio table.
