OOH, go go go hal!! GRRROOOOOOWWWWWWWWW... avobaby is HUGE!! and so pretty. i think he definately needs a new pot, tho. i *finally* have a avocado see that's about to grow...the one i first had never cracked after weeks. this one cracked pretty quickly, but it also had a soft spot on the side. it cracked along the soft spot and where i put the skewer in (just above the soft area)...i can see in the crack some growth. weee!!! i have a 2nd seed just starting in the water now. i can't wait.
my condolances on potato bob. poor little guy. sometimes the bugs are just too much.
oh, about the orange leaves, i know that with Prunus spp., their new growth is often orange/reddish. maybe higher beta carotine production or something in the new leaves. it's fine and the leaves will soon turn a healthy green as they begin to expand.
