I know Craig isn't a fan of the type of avocado that dominates the landscape here (the bigger, non-Hass variety). I wasn't either, until I started eating them regularly. They're never far from hand - in fact, many Dominican women will have one in their purse at any given time. They come out at most meals. I eat them simply cut into strips (some of my Cuban cohorts in Miami like them with a little salt & olive oil, which is also good), or will make guac as well. They're very tame in comparison to the Hass'; their flavor is much more subdued. So, they need something to back them up - like a good spice mix for guac. Anyway, none of this is relevant to the post. I'm just rambling.
I threw a seed into some water to see what would happen. It's been a few weeks, with weekly water changes, but it's now split and has begun to sprout inside. I wonder how long it takes to actually grow into a fruit-bearing tree?
