William got me an avocado tree for Valentine's Day! I originally said I wanted a Hass veriety, but the guy at the nursery told him they don't do well in this climate zone and suggested the heartier Bacon veriety. I haven't eaten actual bacon for over ten years...but I remember it being awesome. My new tree will be awesome by name association. I just brought it inside because it's supposed to be cold tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a huge pot for it where it can live until we buy a home (hopefully in the next year and a half or so) where I can plant it. I want to name my tree for some strange quirky reason. Bjork, Tony Stark, Hoss....who knows why these names came to mind. Suggestions are welcome. It's going to be kind of call of the wild...the tree will start out mostly domestic, in the house, and then be called back to the wild of harsh nature! Maybe I should name it White Fang or something.
