You just finished eating a red delicious apple. And you think, “I wish I could grow apples like this from it’s seed. Is there a way to prepare friut seed for germination?

Yes! You can grow an avacado tree from the pit. Clean the pit by rinsing it under running warm water. Rub gently. Suspend the pit, pointed end down into water in a glass. Use 3 tooth picks gently inserted into the pit to hold it halfway into the water. It will take plenty of patience at this point, as it may take weeks for it to develope a root.
After the root is at least a couple inches long, you can plant it into good potting soil and watch it grow into a beautiful avacado tree.
It does well with a little nitrogen fertilizer from time to time, but only after it has been activly growing for awhile.
Good Luck!

You picked the easiest thing to grow!
I had back luck with plants years ago and to get my confidance a friend suggested an herb garden.
yes they will take over each other if planted together so use medium sized pots that could sit on a windowsill so you can keep them growing through the winter.
You can get a kit or just pick up the seed, plant according to directions but generally they are small seeds and naturally they just fall onto the soil and germinate so usually just dust them on top of the soil and gently cover with soil using your hand to brush across them.
To ensure good drainage just put an inch or so of stones in the bottom of the pot before adding the soil.
I started mine outside in the summer and was able to bring them in for the winter.
Enjoy!
