The avocado tree in our backyard is ready for harvest! The avocados are buttery and delicious and I'm eating a lot of guacamole since Eric is not really a big fan.
This is Jose, our friendly neighborhood security guard. He's from Catarina and knows a lot about everything flora related. He kept 3/4 of the haul and is coming back in a week to collect the remaining fruit.
The curtain rod picking device was already in the backyard when we moved in but Jose brought over the little blue sack to attach to the end of the rod to catch the falling avocados. They are hard to reach in such a big tree - they grow on the underside of a branch, in the shade of the leaves.
They each weigh about 2 lbs!
