This was lovely. Thank you for introducing us to your indoor garden. Now about that avocado, in my experience they're either flourishing or not. I remember many years ago living in an apartment and my avocado sat like a dead stick in front of the sliding glass door, dropping leaves but with all of these little leaf buds along the stem just waiting to erupt into new growth. It sat like that for 18 months. Then one day I noticed it was sitting in a bit of a draft. I moved it by one foot and that was enough for it to erupt into new growth. Grrr... frustrating. lol
