The pups were eager to get started this morning. Seen here with a few of the 250 #avocado trees going in the ground today.

This paper on avocado pollination:
"Bring beehives into the grove. The University of California farm advisors have usually recommended 1 – 2 strong hives per acre, but Ish-Am (2000) suggests that 1 hive is rarely sufficient, and in many cases 4 hives are required. California growers usually have to rent hives (in 2002 hive rentals averaged $42 per hive), but sometimes beekeepers will drop a load of 80 hives for free if the grower has good bee forage nearby. Bees should have water available; floating boards on ponds or reservoirs enables them to land and drink without drowning"
#JournalEverything I hope this doesn't lead me to rack and ruin! I've heard that having to many of these can lead to all sorts of financial woes. I must be careful - I had hand ground coffee again this morning too! I'll be twirling my moustache and wearing tweed before you know it. Hipster as fuck. #VeganFood #avocado #lunch

Fresh fruits every morning
Avocados are also part of my breakfast - I forgot to include them in the picture
My donated #avocado tree is now over 2 years old.
Hopefully I will have a yard soon so I can grow it to be a full tree

At least two of the avocados on my counter have ripened simultaneously.
Tomorrow might need to be a guacamole day.
@markc568 Those big fat #SiliconeLips will mark this time like #Avocado and #HarvestGold #TeasedHair #ShoulderPads and #HairSpray marked the past.
Among the reasons the Ettinger #avocado is not too popular: giant pit. 6" chef knife for scale.
Time to move someplace where I can grow my own avocados?
(I just gave up on my latest attempt to grow my own. But this latest one *did* last far longer than any of its predecessors. That said, even if I am successful in the future, Oklahoma is not a place where I'll ever get enough fruit to sate my #avocado hunger.)
