Another month, another blog! I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve all been waiting on tenterhooks to hear how I\u2019m trying to stay green at home.<\/p>\n

On a side note, I actually DON\u2019T know if you\u2019ve all been waiting eagerly for this latest blog. Sometimes, the Internet feels like a black hole of sorts. We are constantly adding content to it, but we don\u2019t really know what becomes of it. As an author of numerous pieces, whenever I write something, I tend to forget it after it gets released. It\u2019s just \u2018out there\u2019 on the World Wide Web.<\/p>\n

On that front, I would love to hear your thoughts on any of my digital musings. I hope these writings aren\u2019t in vain, and at least SOMEONE is reading them!<\/p>\n

But I digress. If someone is reading these, then you want me to make good on my promise of learning how to garden.<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019ll start with my in-progress mission, and talk about my long-term goal next time. The picture here is little Archie. Archie is an avocado tree! I haven\u2019t joined the ranks of parents, so little Archie is the closest thing I have to a child, and he\u2019s my pride and joy.<\/p>\n

Archie began life in Peru, and yes, I know. Peru is a long way from Japan, and the carbon emissions released bringing him all the way here were cringeworthy to say the least. But, avocados are so delicious, and after all my time travelling the tropics, I\u2019ve grown rather fond them. I\u2019m not as addicted to avocados as I am to another tropical crop – the coffee bean – but I still can\u2019t get enough of the creamy little fruits.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

So, when I saw the avocados on sale at the local supermarket, I thought \u2018what the heck\u2019 and bought one, the yet to be named anonymous avocado. The fatty flesh found its way into some summer rolls, and I was left with a huge pit. I\u2019ve thrown away tons of them, so I thought for once that I would do something with that seed, and here we are.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure when Archie was born, but every day is a new day! I\u2019ve heard it\u2019s going to be years before the tree fruits new little Archies, if ever, but that\u2019s beside the point. I kind of grew something, kind of! That\u2019s a first for me, so I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n

Next on my to-grow list?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
