Start Your Own Avocado PlantThe next time you make guacamole, take the avocado pit (often called the stone) and push the flat end into a six-inch pot of moist, multi-purpose soil. Leave the pointy end exposed.
Make sure to keep the plant at about 65° F until the first leaf shoots appear. Aftet that, it likes normal room temperatures with slightly cooler temperatures (60° F) in winter.
To encourage upward growth, pinch off new buds when they appear below the top leaves on the plant stalk. With proper care, in three years your Avocado will grow to an elegant, large-leaved houseplant about 3 feet tall.

Live With a Conscience

I stayed in this past Saturday night and watched “Food, Inc”. Well, I stay in most Saturday nights regardless, but I happened to have an instant movie to watch on netflix so it worked out. But, for those of you who haven’t heard of the documentary, it’s basically about where America’s food comes from and how our government doesn’t care to protect us from it, rather protects us from the truth.

I do a good bit of research on nutrition and wellness, so most of it wasn’t a surprise, but there was still a good bit of information I hadn’t heard before. I strongly feel every American should watch this film, especially if you don’t do research on your own. I feel so strongly, that I wish it could be a school requirement, but we all know that would never happen because films like this give us the very information the government is trying to hide.

It’s time for us to take control of our lives. Our everyday decisions DO affect our lives AND those of future generations. Let’s stop letting other people and organizations make decisions for us. Let’s start living with a conscience.
