More Avocados

Picked 7 more avocados from the tree. Will try to wait 2 or 3 days in-between 'harvests'. Haven't eaten a single one, though. The first two were given away. The next five were given away as well. The seven are in a paper bag with a banana to try to get them to ripen faster (banana ripens fast and produces ethylene to make the avocados ripen faster). This was done yesterday.

The weather has been cool so I'm not watering as often. It's the coldest summer on record so far (mid 70's high to low 60's at night).

Hydrangea is a pain. Watering it enough to get it going is a pain. Trying to kill it once it's established is a nightmare. It's like a bad haircut that keeps coming back. On top of that, it has spines that will go through rubberized shoes (Hush Puppies become Ouch Puppies). I like the Wisteria but the Hydrangea is intertwined with it. Will try to get the hedger on it this week.
