Patience

Avocado season is in swing.

It seems a bit ridiculous to call it a season, since between the two family trees we basically have them year round. But I still like to see the babies coming up.

I have a big bag waiting to ripen (at the beginning of the season, the avocados take longer to ripen - usually at least two weeks) and I'm looking forward to avocado toast and avocado quesadillas and guacamole, of course.

    If you put them in a fruit bowl with some bananas they'll ripen quicker!

    I'm so jealous of your avocados. I'm in the same boat as ashley above, $2 each at my local grocery. It's depressing, really.

    You are so lucky to have an avocado tree. One of my favorite snacks is a sliced avocado with sea salt and truffle oil. It makes me feel really glamorous!

    avocado trees are such attractive trees and fruit too! I have a whole bowl of fake but very realistic avocados that i keep in my kitchen, so I can have them on display all year round!

    I always wanted a guacamole grove: some avocado trees and lime trees, tomato plants, a couple onions, and a little cilantro in there somewhere.

    Those are such gorgeous little avocados, we got them much larger and darker in tone here in the Caribbean.
