Signs of Hope

Chewed Up Avocado Leaves
We love avocados.  We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE avocados.  So it was a natural that we would plant an avocado tree in the garden.

Cindy planted it last year, but the poor thing has been struggling ever since.  Some kind of insect has been chewing on the leaves, and the leaves themselves were drooping so badly that Cindy was thinking she might have to just pull it out and start over with another tree.

However, she decided to give it a little more time to see if it could recover.

That turned out to be a good decision so far, because the next time we looked at it there were new buds coming on the tips of the stems.

So maybe there's a chance for the tree after all.
New Buds!
