Almost avocado season


We live on a 1/4 acre lot that used to be an old avocado ranch before our tract was built in the mid-60's. Luckily, our property borders the old ranch house and we have 3 of the original trees in our back yard. Every year Xandie and I (Geoff doesn't like them) eagerly await avocado season, along with our friends "in the know". I did a test-pick about a week ago and, though they're not quite at prime picking ripeness, they produced a reasonable quality batch of guacamole. I'm thinking I should hand out blank index cards with every bag I give away this year in return for my friends' favorite avocado recipe. (One of my east Indian students said her mom makes avacado chutney!)
