Margy is such a talented lady. I love your avocado tree, you are so lucky, had to buy an avo today for my daughter, it was on sale $1.50ea, she better like it. My Mum use to mash them up, add a little lemon juice and sugar, then place in the fridge, and you eat it as a sort of pudding, its not bad. Mind you I love mine as is or with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar and pepper absolutely yum.
