Avocado land

My avocado plant's shoot is growing all the time and there are even two little leaves at the top.  Knowing that I will be able to plant it soon, I've started to ponder my pot options.  But as it turns out the avocado's taproot has grown very long, too long for most standard pots.  I'm not sure what that means, but it makes finding an appropriately sized pot difficult.

 I'm glad that my gnome keeps a good watch over my indoor garden.

A lot of the stuff I'm reading about growing and avocado plant like this say to prune the 1st leaves off of the shoot so it will put more energy into root growth.  I'm not sure that I'll be able to cut off those cute little leaves :(
