Abundance of Avocado? Freeze Them!

I was lucky, and happily surprised, to find avocados on sale at a whopping $0.33 each! This is a great sale since they usually go for over $1.00 in my area. I took advantage and stocked up on this yummy-licious "superfood".

Despite my best efforts to use them quickly, they were ripening before I was ready. So, in my normal fashion, and I did some research on freezing avocados. Now, I'm rather picky on the food I freeze because I don't like the texture of my food to change when it's put in the freezer. But I figured I give freezing an avocado a whirl since they are mushy when ripe anyway! LOL

Yes, Virginia, Container Planting IS Possible...

Container vegetables -
tomatoes and peppers.

Over the last few weeks, I've had people literally laugh at me when I tell them that I have some tomato plants in containers. Why they find that funny, I'm not exactly sure - but they said something like, "yeah, right, you can't grow tomato plants in a container." I think the joke is on them, because I've been VERY successful with my container garden (see picture).

Why do I container garden, you ask? For me, the reason is simple - some people collect stray animals, I collect stray vegetable plants. I hate walking into a nursery and seeing a half-dead plant, so I buy them at half the cost and bring them home. I nurture them, talk to them, and give them a reason to live - supplying me with vegetables!!
