| TWO QUART POT |
I hear, Thump! Thump! Thump! I yell.."Bob, the Triplets just fell" and race outside. On the ground under the tree were three of the largest avocados we have ever seen.
Perspective shot... Bob's hand, a plate, a frying pan, as big as our coffee pot. this one weighed in at 3 pounds, is 10 inches long and around the middle is 16 inches.
Odd thing is.... THEY say a tree grown from a SEED will never bare fruit unless grafted.... NOT TRUE we have proof in our yard, 11 year old tree from a seed, and all he did was plant it. Not everything we read is TRUE.
The thing is that *&%^$$ of a squirrel is taking a bite and knocking them down. Five down on the ground and one left half eaten in the tree just on Saturday and hundreds of the golf ball sized babies were destroyed before they could grow to adults.

That squirrel is likely to be around for many years since avocados are very healthy!! Holy guacamole, they are huge!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
That is amazing! We have never seen anything so big. Mums LOVE avacados so are very very jealous! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of guacamole!! :-)So glad you got to harvest some that the squirrels did not destroy. Those guys are cute, but they can sure make a mess, Right now, they are
ReplyDeletetearing up the cushions on our patio swing and using the stuffing for their nests! Grrr! Makes me want to wring their little necks!
Whoa, those are big. Won't you feel bad about eating them now that you've named them...? (lol)
ReplyDeleteBob's growing exploits need to be told to some kind of an *official* place. So the myths he has exploded, can be stated, on a wider scale.

Good grief! I'm going to rush out and plant an avocado seed. then again, we don't have enough sunlight here in NW Wisconsin to accommodate an avocado - at least I'm pretty sure it couldn't survive here. They're so HUGE! Just think of all the good omega-3's that squirrel is getting! He should live a long and happy life. I knew you'd be glad to hear that. lol
ReplyDeletewow, those are some 'not-preemie' triplets, for sure. :)
ReplyDeletewow..That's big!!!
ReplyDeleteOh,...those are funny! LOL
Nasty squirrel...hummm...

Those avocados are huge! Sorry the squirrel is knocking them down.
ReplyDeleteAwww come on. Squirrels like them too. And me. I'm salivating right now as I even look at an avocado that big. All the avocado and tomato sandwiches I'd be eating.
ReplyDeleteThat is AMAZING!!!! I love how you NAMED them and gave them such personality!! You are SO much FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteSandra you crack me up!! Albert, Alan and Aaron are some gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteDang squirrels must have read in the Tree Rodent Times that eating avocado is healthy.
So I have to ask how do you say
avocado in pig Latin? Your comment was so funny
hugs C
Goodness me they are huge, wish we had been able to exchange. :)
ReplyDeleteWow these are huge!! Avocado is nice.
ReplyDeleteJust home from work and now it's gonna be feet up here in ChillesVille. Hope you're having a great day!
Fantastic Post.
ReplyDeleteBe careful you don't get hit on the head by an Avocado. LOL
You are a hoot! Naming avocados...now I've heard everything. ha ha! And, wow, they are so huge. Your squirrel will be healthy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Very, Very interesting, Sandra......but I have to tell you....I have fallen in love with Alan!
ReplyDeletecompared to the avocados they sell in the grocery store here, that is a monster. Do they normally get that big?
ReplyDeleteI like the heart button noses in your edit
Holy guacomolie...that is a big alvocado....too bad about the one the squirrel got a hold of...yep you can't believe everything you read on the internet...love your art work....
ReplyDeleteOh, those are huge! Not that I know anything about avocados...think I would be wanting to trap some squirrels and take them some place else and leave them.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma loves avocados. I've never tried them, but I'm going to. So sorry that the squirrels are going nuts over your avocados! LOL Can't blame them can you?? :)
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Those are so big babies there - I do wish the squirrels would leave them al one.
ReplyDeleteThose are some huge avocados.
ReplyDeleteoh those are so big!
ReplyDeletei love avocados, especially in my salad.
i have to ask...do they normally get that huge?
WOW!!! Is all I can say!!! Them's some big avacados! Did you say Bob eats them? Those babies are more than a meal in a dish!! I like avacados too. I put a tiny bit of salt and smear of mayo on them when I eat them. Pat does not like them. Answer to why the baby can walk and drink and not choke is because they have great muscle control. Our whole body is controlled by our muscles. By the time you reach our age, and you and I are the same age, even though I know you don't want to admit it...:-), our muscles are deterroating. Nothing works like it use to. Example, I am keeping "POISE" in business. Any woman will know what I mean. Am
ReplyDeleteright? Love you girl, Madeline
Wholly Guacamole!!! someone get me a margarita.
ReplyDeleteWe had a friend in Hawaii that had avocados this large and she sold them at saturday market for $1...yes, $1 They were so yummy.
I don't think I have ever seen such large avocados...ever...
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed they survived the squirrel harvest.
Love that you named them..
WOW! They really are huge. I have never seen such bright green avocados. Here we gey dark ones and quite tiny. Sometimes by the time the seed's out there's not much left.
ReplyDeleteThe veggie guys could be part of that kids' web page.
Enjoy your huge avocados! I'm wondering whether they are ripe enough to eat straight away?
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed catching up with your posts today and love your header.
I have never seen avocados anywhere near that big. Oh, but I could sure sink my teeth into one of those. That is great success for sure at growing the tree from seed. Shame on that squirrel or squirrels chewing up your beautiful avocado that way. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI guess you and Bob are the only ones who had patience to see if they would bear. Or maybe it is Bob's super green thumb!
ReplyDeleteYou guys not only have green thumbs but green hands...the tripplets are whoppers :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Awesome avocados! Love your artwork. Too bad you can't PS the squirrel out of the picture. :(
ReplyDeleteWhoa!!!!
