Whoa-Orchard Work Is Hard! I Think It's Time To Play. I Need A Break

Hello everybody. I decided to take a break from growing my avocado orchard and anyway I'm kind of mad at Aunt Eileen. She said that my avocado trees would not make avocados because you can't tell which ones are male and which ones are female. Well Duh...As long as the trees know, who cares that I know....Actually I'm not even certain that I want to know!

In any case, I decided to go back to Hollywood. I paid very close attention to how it was done a year ago when Tom and Judy took me on the subway so I decided that I can do it again myself and so I will.

Here I am looking at the map so I am sure to get on the right train-I actually don't remember it being this involved....Hmmmmmmm

Oh Oh....I may have gotten off at the wrong place....This does not look familiar....Oh Oh

I think I'd better not get back on the subway. I think I'd better walk around above ground where I can see where I am going and then when I know were the place I am is, I will know how far I've come and how close I have to get to be where I was hoping I would get to when I arrived. Yes! that makes perfect sense to me. Yes!

I have been walking for a long long time and I am tired. I will sit and rest and I will gather my energy and then proceed. I sure wish I had an avocado to eat because I'm getting a little hungry. Oh well. I'll be OK. I'll just sit here and rest for a few minutes.

Hmmmm-Hello? Ding Dang It....Hello? Oh Oh...........

Let's make an avocado orchard....Yum

Hello everybody! I'm back....Yeehaw. I've been very busy you know with many things and my goal is to make certain that everybody has all the avocados that they need. It takes a while for the trees to mature, but I envision a giant guacamole fight in about 2019. Everybody will be so happy that the chosen weapon of aggression is so tasty, they will all smile and we will all be friends.Sooooo.....Here we go 

This is my friend Franklin and he is appropriate in every situation. When you need a friend, a friend like him is good to have. I've already cut the Avocado in half and taken out the seed, but I can't show you that because I lost the picture on the computer (along with Judy's class pictures that she worked so hard on last week and so I have to do this all really fast and hide before she sees it...con sarn it)

We have everything we need here. We have the seed, toothpicks, a cup that we will put water in, a friend and a bold resolve to succeed.  Are you ready everybody? Let's grow an orchard.

Be very careful boys and girls! Toothpicks are sharp

Franklin is holding the seed while I carefully put three toothpicks at an equal distance in the side. I place them so that the flat side of the seed is down and I also put them in so that they are a little bit above the center. They also need to be stuck in the side at an angle. The angle should be such that when you fill the cup to 3/4" from the top, the three toothpicks will sit on the lip of the cup and hold the seed about half way in the water.

Oh Oh.....My toothpick slipped and Franklin forgot to move his arm out of the way....Con Sarn It and a Double Dag Nab It. "Hey Franklin, How come you weren't more careful? Now you have a toothpick stuck in your arm and you look angry. What?....Noooo....I don't think sooooo.....You can't blame me because you have slow reflexes....Hey...what are you doing? Hey...put down those toothpicks.....Hey stop it....You'll be sorry you *$&%^ #*^&!!! ....Whoa-Orchard creation is unpleasant!

When I woke up this morning and decided that in 2019 there would be world peace because of my efforts in the field of orchard science, this is not what my vision included. Franklin and I had a very spirited exchange, but in the end he couldn't keep up and now he has one less friend and that friend is me but I don't care because I just don't! Harumph!

Now on with my work. I'm sorry to you all for the interruption and I regret that you had to be part of it....Kind of......Actually I'm glad I didn't lose the tooth pick poking fight. I deserved to win because I am Karen M Onkey...Duh!!!!!!

 I should tell you that it's good to have extra toothpicks and extra cups because you may find an unexpected use for them and then you need to have extras. Always best to be prepared. I would also like to express that sometimes it's better to work alone, and I think Franklin would agree!

See how the toothpicks are stuck in the side of the seed and how they are sitting on the side of the cup? They are holding the seed at the correct height so that the seed sits about half way in the water. Now I'm going to put my cup and seed in a sunny place and check the water everyday to be sure that there is always enough.Before long I will have an avocado tree!

VICTORY IS MINE

What do we have here? It's my avocado seed and it has sprouted. See how it looks like a space alien? That is how it is suppose to look. I actually started this one about 3 weeks ago because I knew I was going to be writing this blog and I needed to show how cool this all is. I'll let it grow a little more and then I'll put it in dirt and it will grow into a big tree. If you do what I did (but remember, you don't need help unless you are a kid and then you should ask you Mom for help because she loves you and if something goes wrong she won't stab you) you will have one too. If you want me to send you a nice seed just send $4000 and I will get one off to you. I ship on Tuesdays and Fridays. 

Well-that's about it for today. Thank you all for your involvement and let me know if there are any other topics you'd like to see me address in this blog. When I put the seed in dirt in a few days I'll be sure to log in another post.

Keep watching.
