It had been several years since the demise of Pinky.  Aaaah, never forget Pinky.  But Maisy decided it was time to start again, to get ourselves back out into the Avocado tree dating game, as it were.  Here are the seeds being planted.

So, absolutely no idea when I took this cuting, but I do know its a cutting of a plant that was growing in the Food Surveys office almost from the day I started.  Or perhaps it was a gift from Linda when she left to change jobs.  I think it may be the latter.  Either way, the parent is long gone, but I'm really pleased to have a cutting still going strong in the office today, many many years later.  Again, will update with actual time scales if I ever get that far back.

Was speaking to my Dad about why a commercial Cavendish variety of banana shouldn't eventually grow some fruit. 

Ah, they are looking super nice.  Small citrus seedlings, with good healthy leaves.  It's almost like someone else grew them....
