A month ago I wrote about my mother's avocado tree. I said that last year was a big harvest and that this year we wouldn't be so lucky, remember? It turns out I was utterly and completely wrong. The neighbour who always helps us came over to harvest them. He climbed up the tree and discovered that most of the avocadoes were way above the roof. The tree was full of fruit, but we couldn't see them.

One of the great things about living in Venezuela is the fact that you get fresh fruit and vegetables all year round. This is especially true when your mom has a big garden and a passion for farming. Among the many fruit and vegetable plants in her garden, the biggest one is her avocado tree. The season is beginning and we're already eating avocadoes every day. Soon it'll be an avocado overdose.
