The beginning of a garden always has surprises. I have had my garden for 20 years and learnt a lot, but it starts with a seed that germinates. Often other unwanted plants germinate as well, but some can be interesting.
And then you can get adventurous and decide to grow a avocado tree (in Switzerland?). Of course you keep it indoors and might even be successful.
I would not really recommend it. Your avocado might give up, or even get attacked by some unknown invader in the pot. Many are the avocado trees I have grown and disposed of. Now I eat the fruit and dispose of the pit.

Growing avocado pits into trees was a fad among kids my age in the early 1970s. They are awkward trees, that get very tall and lanky during their first few years before maturing enough to bloom and produce fruit. Nursery trees are grafted from adult growth, so start producing sooner, and branch much lower.

Itbwas also a fad with me never had a big success. i also tried citrus fruits, but never grew anything successfully. The most success were apples and I have a tree in my back yard that I grew from a pip that even produces fruit, although not reliably
