Your lemongrass looks a lot bigger than ours!
Did you need to peel anything off the avocado seed?

Hello, Chickendream!
Thank you!
I just cleaned off the extra pulp from the seeds, that was all. Also I did keep them in storage for about 3 months or longer (I couldn't plant them)

Ah ok. Do they get very big? Like an oak tree size? Or do they stay kinda small like apple
My uncle from CA said they could get about 40ft tall or so, so yeah more like an oak although if you get a standard size apple they can grow about 20 to 30ft tall too

I have four avocados going you can start them in a glass of water in the house too. They start wonderfully in our sun porch.
To start one clean the pit off very well after removing and put three or four tooth picks around it. It's going to be placed so about an inch of it sticks our of the water can be a bit less. Make sure you change water periodically, to prevent mold, and keep the water level high. The tooth picks keep the seed sitting half in half out of the water and will eventually break from being continually submerged when that happens just place new ones. The flatter side goes in the water(aka side with the bump I'll call that a belly button
) the skin on the top half will eventually dry out and crack so the seed can open(note: when the seed opens it is vulnerable to snapping killing the growth) if the skin is thick you may have to manually peal a line. Being in WI I can not keep them outside all year around I wish I could. Also note that avocados and the trees are poisonous to animals we keep our in the sun porch and then in a mini green house to keep our pets safe. I will say before we got the greenhouse our great dane ate half my first tree. She had explosive diarrhea for two days. I recommend the greenhouse. Let me know if you have questions.
Please excuse our dust lol the sun porch has been my greenhouse and our chick room this year lets just say its in very dire need of dusting.
