A: Did you eat the avocado? If so, how?
N: I ate the avacado in a burrito!
A: When did you plant the avocado seed?
N: I planted the seed 3 months ago.
A: I know you told me last night, but how long before the tree matures? And will it bear avocados?
N: And the tree matures in about 15 years to bear fruit but it takes 5 more before it produces fruit you can eat!
A: What is your favorite recipe using avocados?
N: I love anything related to avacados especially making guacamole.
A: Are you a hippie?
N:I am not a hippie... maybe?
A: Do you recommend starting it with toothpicks in a dixie cup of water, or planting it in soil and a pot?
N: Definitely put it in soil, I tried 2 times in water with toothpickswith limited success. One failed, one started then failed. This is the best yet... [current picture is from September 1].
A: What are some health benefits of the avocodo?
N: Avacados have good fat and also good vitamins for you. Use them in salad instead of dressing or cheese.
A:Have you ever grown anything else in your office? Maybe a potato?
N: We also had poinsetta plants that were only supposed to survive during Christmas but that we grew for a whole year. Then it became unruly and we decided that we would just get new ones next Christmas anyway. We have some other plants here, too. But nothing as exciting as the avacado tree!

Q. How can a little avocado tree be interesting?
A. When it is viewed by people who also find interest in checking the number of pages in a phone directory, writing down the bar code numbers of every product in their cupboards or when the tree learns to transmogrify into marijuana.
Discount shopping in another city is an excellent way to soak up the local culture. What you'd find at the TJ Maxx in S.F. is vastly different than what you'd find at one in Des Moines, and tells you a lot about the local culture. THAT'S a lot better than eating sourdough and Ghiradelli chocolate. :P
