I've been trying the avocado thing, also not working as planned so I may scrap that project. I think I just need to stick to snakes haha.
This is a very good point. I hear of a lot of people stocking up on seeds thinking they will have them in a worst case scenario to grow their own food. Well, farming isn't as easy as one might think. I strongly suggest that anyone thinking along these lines plant stuff NOW and learn the ropes while you can look at it as just a hobby.
