I have a tree from a seed. It has never even flowered. Nice tree. Great leaves.

No avocados from an avocado tree? What do they get grapefruit? Makes no sense to me.

The tree only has leaves. No flowers. No fruit.

A defective seed then. So, you plant and pray. I can only imagine what the apartment manager would say if I planted an avocado tree in front of my unit. LOL

Do it in a 5 gallon bucket. Go to the government recycling program and fill the bucket with free compost. The tree should be okay.

It's been a while since we picked up avos from one of those stands. Pre-pandemic for sure, but not sure how pre. Stopped at a Lucky store today to get some bits for a lasagna. They had avocados for 99 cents each. I tested a couple and they were all ready for instant guacamole.

The leaves on radish are actually pretty good. I use them on salads instead of lettuce. Good in burgers also. Radish leaf, tomato, avocado cheeseburgers.

Happy wet Thursday Nor Cal. Finally got some rain. Might even get more, but I don't know. Ground is wet as I speak, so it rained sometime last night.

We sorta kinda got some rain last night. About 2/100 of an inch. Things are wet outside, and it's cold compared to what we've been having. OAT is 41 right now.

It's right around 55 to 60 around here. I have sun. SF stays the same temperature most of the time.

I don't remember how many years ago it was planted. It's 15 feet tall. Never flowers. Just gives me leaves.

Once you buy a pack of buns and ground beef, you are eating hamburger for days. The store won't sell you 1 bun, 1/4 lb of meat, 3 slices of tomato, 1 piece of lettuce.

That is the plan. They want to fatten you up.
