I grow my own; one tree, more avocados than one man could ever eat.

I'm glad. At least somebody around here is happy.

I'm in Michigan and we can see some old weeds and grass under the snow when it melts, sometimes.

I’m up at my farm in Nor Cal where it’s 18 degrees right now on the front porch, my Wife had to go down south for doctors appointments.

She just gave me a call and said it’s 78 degrees down there and all the oranges, tangerines, tangelos, avocados, lemons are doing great.

I grow all that crap in the yard, have a quarter acre down in LA county, big piece of property for southern California.

Farm up here is 40 acres, real good for apples, pears, plums, cherries, black walnuts, grapes, boysenberries etcetra.

But cold as a well diggers whazoo in the winter.
