New fun kind of thread :)

Oh no

Ooh (2 avocados)

Group shot! Upside down one isn’t getting anywhere

Zombie one that got everywhere because we didn’t take the shell off in time is also only one to sprout up and out so far

2 that are working hard to sprout up and out

Zombie just absolutely killing it out here, others aren’t even close

Updates from the avocado farm. One absolute unit and a couple hopefuls still behind

We graduated the big one to a little pot. Might have done it a little early so good luck to it

Avocado updates

They each seem to have different kinds of roots, which is interesting. 4th one here is canonically called pincers. First is also visually a zombie but clearly the zombies actually do very well

C h o n k y

And the main zombie for now

New sprouts and their leader

Updates from the last week or so

Look at this absolute unit

Avocado post-culling roll call

Updates from the farm, taken about a week apart

We really did the first one dirty

Periodic update

Updates from Tuesday and then another one from
Wednesday because the big one is going hard

And today

It’s what she deserves

Good morning

Uhhh

Who dares trespass on my avocado??!?!

Deeply suspicious mass on our extremely upset avocados

Honestly kind of want to keep it just to see wtf a caterpillar this size turns into

Turns out it actually moves very fast, just freezes when caught. Will wait til it thinks I don’t see it (hope it hasn’t gone to sleep). Bonus photo from its trail of destruction.

Where’s Waldo?

Tried to build a high-rise magnifying glass to get a good picture (phone won’t focus) and it pooped!!

Unless it’s in this tiny pile of leaves, we’ve lost it. Mint has a praying mantis now though, which is cool

אז.... תזכורת לא להשאיר את התינוק באוטו (כעקרון הוא בדרך להורים להתחיל חיים חדשים)

Seems it’s just a bad time to be an avocado

The first transported avocado has (unsurprisingly) died, but this one made the trip

Avocado planted outside Boris’s parents’ on Tuesday (17th)

Update from my parents’

Another one

It’s time

Scavenged some sage, repotted some plants (killing the previously too shaded (on account of being too deep in the pot) lychee in the process), and most importantly - started some new avocados. Waiting for spring for the older ones to wake up

Time to lose some followers again

Got a couple of sprouts. Any buds the tall one had before winter seem to have died, but it looks like fresh ones are on the way. Short one not looking too happy

New roots. Tall avocado looks like it’s working on several new leaves, which is good. Short avocado looks like it’s dying but here’s hoping it manages to push out a leaf somehow. Not sure what hurt them so bad. Thread suggests it was the repotting :/

The decline and fall of last year’s avocado empire. Hoping at least the one at my parents’ makes it but frankly it seems to be suffering too (suspected salt burn? Tried to give it a long deep water but who knows what will happen)

Anyway now that we’ve figured out the right locations in our new apartment this year’s avocados are finally sprouting. In the meantime, all of last year’s are dead :(

Beep boop avocado time
