Project: Will It Grow?
Materials: two avocado pits, plastic tubs, toothpicks
Explanatory details: back in January I mentioned that I was trying to sprout an avocado pit and hoped to see roots in March. I added a second pit around mid-February.
How did it go: Fizzle. Neither pit ever did anything and I finally gave up and tossed them today. However! I immediately re-used the tubs and toothpicks for two shriveled, eye-sprouting potatoes we never ate. So stay tuned for "sprouting things, part II".
Things we talked about: The potatoes might grow roots and leaves to grow into plants.
What Junie got out of it: She enjoyed helping me shove the toothpicks into the potatoes.
