The Avocado Tree

Happy Friday Lovelies

Shopping today was mainly fresh fruit and vegetables.. We have an amazing market nearby that sells great quality produce for very reasonable prices. Although I still have some canned fruits and vegetables in the pantry.. its a great stop gap between fresh items I  have run out of in storage.. while I wait to harvest again at home.

So its the time of year I start planning my little 'Victory Garden". I already have my seed potatoes... and we still have bell peppers and serrano peppers growing from last season.

We have a blackberry and a blueberry bush.. but what we've never had is a proper fruit tree. So when our friend Primo turned up with an avocado tree he had dug up from his garden...we couldnt say no.

After planting.. I must say its looking rather sorry for itself... but with a bit of love and attention.. hopefully it will come out of its shock and start flourishing,

It probably wont bear fruit for a couple of years.. but for right now... I will be happy if it just survives
