I"M BACK AND READY TO PLANT.....YEEHAW

Hello everybody...I have energy and ambition...I am ready to plant!

My unfortunate drop through the sidewalk and losing my way underneath Hollywood is all in the past now and I'm ready to get back to my purpose in life. Here we have a lovely photo of me and my two avocado seeds. The one on the right (my left) is ready to plant the one on the left (my right) is not. There fore I will plant only one...can you guess which one I am going to plant? If you guessed wrong then you are wrong. If you guessed right, then you are right...(my left). Soooo lets get cracking and do some farming...where's my acreage?

My Lisa came home from the place where she moved to back to where she moved from which is here and so she is not there and she came for my birthday and my present is that she is helping me with my orchard. (Next week I'm going to talk to Judy about run on sentences, but not now).

We have everything we need to plant

• Sprouted avocado seed
• Ceramic pot
• Potting soil 
• Baileys Irish Cream

 I suggested to Lisa that we water the avocado with the Irish Cream and then we can grow chocolate Irish avocados. She said it wasn't going to work and that we should just water with regular water and so I said, "Hey...I have an idea-let's drink the Irish Cream ourselves"
Lisa said that she didn't want any but that if I wanted to drink a little, I should do that and the only thing is that I should be careful not to drink to much because I am not Irish and so it would not be good for me. I also had a lot of work to do.

  I thought about what she said and I decided that she was right but I also decided not to listen to her. I drank a glass......Yum! I dank another....Yum Yum!! Then I thought that it would be a good idea to check the size of the pot so I climbed on in. I'm glad I did because It fit so well that I decided that another glass of Baileys was in order to celebrate my excellent decision.....Yum.....Burp.......

Time to plant.
I liked the way the pot fit my butt and I especially liked the way that I rewarded myself with Baileys for having such a good idea when I decided to climb on in.
Therefore I decided to save time and save the pot and plant the avocado right in the bag of potting soil. I decided that this was probably the best idea I'd ever had in my whole life so I had another glass of Baileys. Not only would the avocado have a lovely home.....I would be able to climb in the pot without getting my butt all dirty...Yuk....More Baileys....Burp

"OH OH....STOP YOU SILLY MONKEY", Said Lisa when
 she realized what I was doing....So I did....Lisa took over and I sat back and let her. She's pretty smart you know.



I drank too much Baileys.......I don't feel so good and all I want to do is close my eyes and not open them....Con sarn it....Where did I leave my eyelids.......Burp

Hello everybody....Karen can't be with us for the next few hours or so and I've decided that it's best to let her sleep. I'll keep going ahead with the orchard project. We can check with Karen in a little while and see if she able to join us....if not.....well-we'll probably do better without her input......OK here we go:

First step is to fill up the pot with potting soil. Fill it up to about an inch from the top. Pack it down gently. You want it firm enough to support the plant, but loose enough to let water percolate throughout.

The next thing to do is to plant the avocado. Make a hole in the dirt in the center of the that is deep enough to accommodate the roots. Plant the avocado so that the dirt is just covering the top of the seed. Pat down the dirt so that the plant has good support. 

Lets check on Karen and see if she is able to join us yet.........

Nope.....Not yet........

While Karen rests, we'll water the plant. Use only water to water the plant. Do not use Baileys or eggnog and do not toss in Coco Puffs. The soil and water are all the plant will need for a long long time...maybe even years. 

Put the plant in the sun and turn it every couple of days so that it grows straight and tall. Water it when it's dry. You will have a beautiful plant to enjoy.

Oh look----It's a beautiful avocado tree. It will grow and be happy.....Oh Oh....I think Karen is coming around. Let me go see how she's doing and maybe she can join us for one last picture

Karen? Are you feeling better? Hello...Karen?

Hello everybody....I'm back from my nap and the world is a magical place because I dreamed that a kind princess helped me plant my avocado tree and guess what? WHOA-when I woke up it was all planted. I have a very bad head ache and my mouth is kind of dry and I want to go back to sleep because I don't feel so good. but I do have a beautiful tree.

While it's still small you can take it for walks. You can also teach it to stand very still. If it gets tired, water it with Coca Cola and if it gets hungry, it likes green olives and salami. If it's a very smart plant, you may be able to teach it to play checkers. 

Well....That's all for right now. I need to go lay down again. Judy is coming home pretty soon and so Lisa said that she will help me clean up the mess. It actually looks OK to me, but Lisa says it's not OK-it's messy. Thank you Lisa. I liked working with you today. I just have one question......What happened to all the Baileys?
