Gardening, landscaping and plants in general

@goosehd we get a very large range of avocado sizes and shapes around here. It is only recently that some avocado farms of industrial characteristics have sprung up. It is these types of farms which grow fruit under a very specific size & shape specs. Most around here are rather mom&pop small farms with a HUGE variances; size, color, shape, etc.
I’ll try to get some pics to show that variation, quite interesting.

It's great being out at sea, but we are away from home at my favourite time of the year in the garden. Had these sent to me this morning.....

Successful in gaining shade but it's still hot as fuck this week (at least by Oregon standards)

@GraemeE what kind of smoker is that?

[GraemeE]

@jfk1117 I think it's a fairly generic brand - while I've used it for smoking plenty it's essentially just a welded barrel with a chimney

A friend’s harvest of “Tommy Atkins” mangoes looks very promising this year!

I thought I’d share a photo of my 7 foot monstera as she was looking so good today! Another obsession I have is house plants. I’m constantly propagating but I’m most fascinated with Alocasia and philodendron.

I recently added this Philodendron billietiae too, love the orange stems on these.

Any others collect these?
