Avocado season is in full swing around here, just as fall moves out for winter. These 11 beauties plopped down on their own overnight on the lawn. They aren’t ripe yet but it’ll only take them a couple of days before they are ready to eat. I like them in all sorts of meals but I’ll risk saying that on a lightly toasted whole bread for breakfast is probably my favorite way.

@motojobobo They look amazing
I’m very surprised at the range of fruit sizes…all from the same tree. Unusually large size variation. Not sure whether that is caused by the highly irregular rain pattern over the last 6-8 months.

@motojobobo I honestly did not know that Avocados could get that large.

@goosehd we get a very large range of avocado sizes and shapes around here. It is only recently that some avocado farms of industrial characteristics have sprung up. It is these types of farms which grow fruit under a very specific size & shape specs. Most around here are rather mom&pop small farms with a HUGE variances; size, color, shape, etc.
I’ll try to get some pics to show that variation, quite interesting. -

Successful in gaining shade but it's still hot as fuck this week (at least by Oregon standards)
