One thing I will take away from this physical distancing and staying home is the appreciation of the plants growing in my yard. I started some experiments. Some worked some were failures. I started with trying to grow an avocado seed. After 11 weeks this is what it looked like:
The Start and Finish of an Avocado Seed
So that was the failure. But this, “Can I grow things?” led to other tries; celery stalks. Can you grow them from the stalk you leave behind after you cut off the long stalks to eat? Look below was it a success or failure?

Since I was going to be home for hours on end I thought I would revive my garden. I noticed potato volunteers. Now I know what some of you are thinking, “Volunteer potatoes, what does that mean?” In years past I have planted potatoes and then harvested them in the fall. Any potatoes I miss during the harvest will grow the next year. All the potatoes in my garden are from previous years, they have “volunteered” to grow. I thought I had dug them all up but obviously not.
