So it's no wonder they're so expensive.
They're pretty abundant here, but I haven't noticed an increase in cost. It's pretty typical to pay a dollar (£0.77) for an avocado here, sometimes even more. People still buy them up, though, the cost doesn't seem to bother anyone.

Most of the plants, shrubs and trees in my garden are grown this way.

Re: advocado = enviromental disaster
I love a ripe avocado but unripe brings out my `nasty side` Non e maturo I say-Italian waiter says`si yes under ripe? Yes i just said that. In England-waiter this spoon is no good for this thing you have served. Can I get you something else Sir? Maybe a jack hammer?

Well for some reason these ones wouldn't ripen and get soft no matter how long they sat. It was strange.Well, most likely something to do with the original article Muddy posted. I found something similar...
