Holy Guacamole


Here is my lopsided avocado tree. It has been compensating because the neighbor's dogs destroyed one half of it last year. If you think it looks kind of sad now, you should have seen it before. It was scraggly and barely there. I read that I should pinch off some leaves and it will bush out.

Well, it worked until the dog incident and now we have about 7-10 avocados.

Don't strain your eyes. I'm not sure how much time these tiny things need before they are ready to be picked. But I'm watching them closely. Also I read that I need to protect them from rodents and squirrels.
Great. We have lots of squirrels roaming around so hopefully they don't know what is growing in my yard.
I can't wait to try them to make some guacamole along with some salsa.
