Aging English expat/immigrant living in Andalucia, interests include orchids, gardening and growing avocados. Fighting a rearguard action against the encroaching years. I know they will win in the end, but it's all about putting up a good fight.
Anyone into avocados? Growing, grafting and so on. These are this year's rootstock plants. Cleft and approach grafting hasn't gone well for me so this year I am trying bud/veneer grafts as these seem to suit me better.

Slowly getting the hang of growing ornithogallum in Andalucia. Every year I manage to do something to nearly kill them all, but 'poco a poco' I am getting there.
