If I have another avocado I believe that I'll turn green
I've got about 30 ripe Hass in the fridge, and about 1000 more out hanging on the trees. Unfortunately, we are right inside the edge of a medfly quarentine zone. That means we can't harvest them (other than for personal use) and we can't transport them out of the zone to give to our friends.
Still haven't seen any medflys yet...
I wish that avocados would grow in the FL Panhandle, but it's too far north. I believe that the bumper crop here in the grocery stores resulted more from the Superbowl. At first they were 1/2 the regular price and reduced even further following the game. At that price, I couldn't resist. Some times you can get too much of a good thing.
