Mark that’s horrible! You are a man of strength and not a quitter but it still hurts. Let me know how I can help
Thanks for the kind offer Frank! Have started to germ avocado pits and cherimoya seeds. The loss has made me physically anxious, depressed and almost sick to my stomach. Worse than my 6th divorce!
BTW, Ed lost "my" El Bumpo from last year's scion sale. His recording themometer showed a low of 13F!
Thank you too Samu. Many Texans took quite a hit with wide and varied losses both outdoors and in greenhouses even some down in the valley where freezes are rare. Many of the ingenious attempts (covers, tents, lights) to protect their faves got crushed.
We juiced Moro blood oranges yesterday. Not bad but would have been excellent with another month's hang time. Have many left on the tree which will go to neighbors and making orange marmalade tomorrow. Floor of the greenhouse and counters are littered with Oro Negro avocados, most still green. They will be my source of rootstock....I hope.
Best,
Mark
