Plant & Growing Tips
Avocado
- Grow avocado trees in warm, frost-free climates with full sun and well-drained soil.
- If growing from seed, be patient as it can take 5-10 years for a tree to produce fruit.
Mixed Leafy Greens
- Sow seeds successionally every few weeks in cool weather for a continuous harvest.
- Provide consistent moisture and partial shade in hotter climates to prevent premature bolting.
Natural Pest Control
- Hand-pick slugs and snails from leafy greens, especially in the morning or evening.
- Spray aphids off leafy greens with a strong jet of water or use a neem oil solution.
- Use row covers to protect young leafy greens from flea beetles and other flying insects.
Harvest
Avocado
- Pick avocados when their skin darkens slightly and they feel firm, then ripen on the kitchen counter for a few days.
Mixed Leafy Greens
- Harvest outer leaves for a 'cut-and-come-again' approach, allowing the plant to continue producing.
- For a single harvest, cut the entire plant at the base when leaves are young and tender.
