I’m on my 3rd avocado tree and was about to pull this one out and buy the 4th but there is one tiny avocado on it right now!

Any avacado tree will take between 3-4 years to start producing fruit. Even then, it will take 2-4 years after that to get any real yeild. That is assuming you have the correct soil/water for it.

Tough little buggers.

[quote]I want to try grapes,but I doubt it would work in Carmel Valley climate…I think I’ll need to move to Santee for that :)[/quote]

They’ll do fine. As far as grapes are concerned, Carmel Valley climate is like Bordeaux (but a lot drier), and Santee is more like coastal Spain or Portugal.

Are you fellow pigg gardeners getting enough bees? If not, remember to hand pollinate those pumpkins and melons. The melon flowers are so small and if there are plenty of other flowers around the bees might skip them. It is probably best to hand pollinate any hoped for giant pumpkins.

I didn’t see many bees and was worried. Recently the numbers gradually started to increase. These bees could be both wild living colonies and from neighbors who keep hives. Last year there were so many hungry bees that they were crawling all over the corn tassles.
