Made an mistook in the vege garden this morning. I have 2 cut-off 44 gal drums into which I put scraps and compost. At times tomatoes sprout and we harvest them.
The other day the tom plants were past their life so we cut them up and just let them dry out in the bins. Maybe later burn.
This morning I was cleaning around the bins and noticed this large sprouting plant in one of the drums which I didn't recognize.
It was about a foot and a half long, large deep green leaves and we had never noticed it growing in there before. So I ripped it up as I do with all weeds. Out it came, roots and all with a big avocado seed attached. Dammit. I could never grow Avs from seeds.
So immediately placed it if a bucket of water and prepared a large pot. True Love and I placed the big pot and Av plant on the verandah and watched it slowly wilt. Fingers crossed it may pick up. I looked up advice and it was recommended to cut the top off. Will see in the morning.
