From my experience I would leave the toothpicks out of this. With the Avocado stone/seed while it's fresh peel off the brown outer skin carefully. Wrap it in some damp kitchen roll. Place it in an air tight sandwich bag for example, and place in a draw. Check on it in 3 -5 weeks you will see it split and roots shooting out. You can leave it for even a few months until you have a nice amount of roots exposed. At this point you can plant in to soil, or using the water method.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
With lots of heat and space - may be lucky to get a fruit but unlikely for the average grower in the UK
Much easier to grow edible passiflora. Unheated GH, buy fruit, sow seed and pick ripe fruit some 18 months later.
Don't even need a step by step UTube guide either - win win
Never understood trying to grow an avocado in the UK. They make ugly houseplants and you'd need a greenhouse the size of a house for just one tree to get to fruiting size.
