I've no clue as to what's happening to my green thumb with avocado seeds. I used to be able to get them to grow into trees in no time flat. Now it seems I can't get one started for anything. Iv'e tried in potting soil, in water like I always did, without and with fertilizer... Hell, I may as well be trying to get a rock to sprout.
On the brighter side, the plum tree cuttings I got are not only putting out leaves but flowers. A decent percentage of the apple tree cuttings I took are leafing out so I trimmed a few off of my pear, nectarine and olive tree to try to start.
I spat a few Meyer lemon seeds into a cup of dirt and the seedlings thereof are about 2.5" tall now. Last year's cucumber crop was rather disappointing but I saved the last fruit of the season for seed and have a few seedlings popping up in their starter dish.
The kiwi and pomegranate plants were looking as though they were totally decimated by the cold but I'm seeing a few new green leaves there.
Well, like the old saying goes; Win some, lose some. It seems like for some odd reason the old things I used to be so good at are are not happening so well anymore but the new things I'm trying are doing well enough to make up for their (our?) failure.
