mine did exactly the same I still have lovely beetroot leaves growing....but nothing else

right - I'm going on an avocado growing mission now then...but it does sound similar to the egg cup...so I'm not holding out a lot of hope for it not going mouldy yet... and still no progress on the glace cherry....although something else strange-looking is growing out of the side of the pot.... :wa...

Avocado!! I've never mnaged to grow one...someone told me to stick a cocktail stick in either side and balance it so it was touching water in an eggcup..but all that happens is it goes very mouldy!!!
