  • The avocado tree

    The avocado tree

    A few years ago I planted an avocado seed from a supermarket avocado I ate. Within a year I had a nice potted plant for the kitchen. Here it is back in 2020. Today the tree is close to 3m high. It lives in my office beside my desk. I’m not sure what to do […]
