First get the seat, put the little dip toward the top, then use
3 toothpicks on each side near its middle, a cup full of water
balance the toothpicks so you can keep the avocado seed half way out dip toward top
keep the water full, so refill it every day or at least every other day
in about 30 to 60 days you will see roots breaking thru, then the top will follow
as you see the top turning into small leafs plant it in a pot like a regular tomato plant,, it will grow fast so be prepare

For a good start, let the avocado ripen to mush.
You should then find that the seed has split and the root has started to grow, then you will be able to plant it in a pot of growing medium.
Please do note that the leaves of an avocado plant are poisonous.

fill gless with water, put tooth picks in avocado seed to hold it up just above the water . check water daily seed must be kept wet.it takes about two to three week, it will crack open in the middle. sooner or later a little green head will sprout from the crack.you can plant it after the green pops out.not sure where thay will grow i keep mine inside, in michigan too cold to leave out. good luck.

Yes...it will grow in AZ.
Get a clear shallow glass dish and put in a clean sponge and fill it with water to halfway from top of sponge.
Place the dried seed on top and keep in a very sunny window and in a week or two you will see root develop. But make sure to keep water in the dish so the sponge stays wet.
Once the root gets big enough...couple of inches...then pull apart the sponge...try not to damage the root...and then plant...and keep in the sun.
Hope this helps...LAR
