Crazy Lady wants a Magnolia. I asked her if she ate the fruit. Got a dirty look. Sooo...

My husband picked up a magnolia cone last fall and challenged me to grow a magnolia tree from it. Three have sprouted so far...

Challenge. I want to try this now too.

It's an exercise in patience, for certain.

I throw my avocado seeds in the dirt. I've mastered waiting patiently for them to grow. Usually takes a few weeks then viola green appears.

I have a quick funny story about seeds/growing trees. Growing up, my mom worked for "Longwood Gardens" in PA (look it up). She was a master gardener and bring rare plant specimens home from there and plant in her own gardens. My favorite "tree" was this one with huge spearmint shaped leaves, purple flowers and a specific seed pod I can't quite describe. I'm sure she told me the name a dozen times but it never stuck, to me it was called "my tree". Fast forward 30+ years when hubby and I are at Longwood for our wedding anniversary and I see those trees from my youth. It was Fall so the seed pods had formed and some had fallen on the ground. I spent a good half hour or so trying to nonchalantly take a few (ok steal) praying no one saw me. Hubby was mortified. I still have the seeds stored...I'll probably start them in house at some point.
