Ours was Sarah inspired as well. It nearly died last time i had a baby but not sure if that was birth related, or the fact that my dh and i both gave it "one last good water" before i went off to hospital....

That's great... I was going to mention that the climate in Kansas City, Missouri (aside from the occasional snow) is probably much like that in Great Britain -- maybe not quite as wet, but close. Of course, I grew up in Southern California, where EVERYthing grows! I’m glad Sarah chimed in.

Sadly it would be pointless for me to grow one, as Avacados are on the list of "20 things I will not consume". Actually I have more than 20, but I decided not to count things like earth, chair and pritt stick. So thats what that thing in the corner of the room is, it has distracted me many a poker game.

The cats enjoyed chewing it, but it survived and grew quite tall (I think about 4 feet, but I may be exaggerating as I am a lot taller now than I was then). Eventually, it was deemed to be too big for the dining table and was banished to the back garden, outside the dining room window. I think it survived for a couple of years after that.

But what about growing olive trees outdoors? I got a small one for Christmas and it doesn't seem too happy in the living room. Very impressive! But what about growing olive trees outdoors?

It's still going strong, having lasted two winters in a rather chilly conservatory. Thanks for reminding me to water it ;) It is possible :)
