That will take forever but yes. The outer brown covering has to split and soaking in water for a few weeks does just that. Make a tripod of toothpicks and poke into the bottom of the pit. The bottom is the fatter end. Pointier side is the top. Put in a jar and keep covered to the top. The pit will eventually split and a root will start at the bottom. When it has a root the top will sprout. That is the best time to plant. Some people plant right after it splits and you can see a nub of a root in the crack of the pit at the bottom.
You can start avacados in water. Put 3 toothpicks in it to hold it half in and half out of the water until it gets a good root system, then transplant it in soil. Change the water 2 times a week until the roots are well established and give it good sunlight.
