It looks like I will have to be around
for another 7-10 years as that is how long it will take 'my' avocado
tree to bear fruit. We have a tree in the yard behind my building that
provided us with about 75 avocados last season. I decided to plant the seed of one of those I ate in March. By June it was tall and leafy enough to plant in the ground.
My neighbor Irene planted it near the library where it is getting sun
and is protected from the elements. Just mark your calendar for the
avocado party at Gateway on March 4, 2023--that's if the ocean hasn't swallowed us up yet!!!
