Can you freeze avocadoes for use later?

Congrats on your harvest! You are a lucky man! Everyone that I gave the Brogdon avocados from my trees love them. You can leave on the tree if they are still green to extend your harvest, I only pick them when they show black spot on them. And yes you can freeze them successfully to be enjoy later when you don't have avocados. I get the small 4 oz preserve jars from Walmart, mash 2 avocados with 1 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice, then fill the small jar usually with one avocado, perfect serving size for one person.

Here are some of mine.

I prefer to use glass for some of my favorite foods especially the tomato sauce that I freeze in bigger jars and I love those little jars for small servings.
I freeze lemons and limes whole, I just cut the tops. Also stack the freezer bags with cut out tomatoes from the garden and I have them flat like you do. Have mangoes like that too from the mango festival.:)
You are not the only one surprised, my dentist was too when I gave her frozen jars of tomato sauce and little jars with some fruit jam that I made, in fact she said now that she uses the jars for other uses in the kitchen like saving the leftovers when she opens a can.
I have my jars many, many years, the only thing that needs replacement sometimes are the tops and those you can also buy individually.

Bill, if I didn't hate crossing Pinellas County due to the crappy traffic I'd be over there in a heart beat! Where did you get you plant from?

Avocados are suppose to ripen outside the tree, to extend my harvest I wait till they show a little black point, then they perfectly ripen outside. But you can also pick them green as long as they are full size, usually when one shows a lot of black it is time to start pick avocados from the tree. After harvest I put them in a cool place in the laundry room in this case and keep watching, when fully ripe I eat them or put them away, it is easy.:)

Left on the tree for later I still have avocados, not for long.-(

Pick them with a little black, not much

And perfectly ripe, time to eat them.

Tina - sorry I didn't get back to you in time. We are taking our only daughter off to college. I've been dreading this day for over a year. Terribly, terribly proud of her but at the same time don't want to lose my sushi dinner and sci-fi movie buddy. Why can't they just stay kids forever?

You are so near me, why don't you come by and talk fall gardening with me? You might like to try some of the seeds I have too. I'm always trying to get Tom to try some, but I think he's seed overloaded at home - he always says no. You know I'd love to meet a fellow gardener who's close to me. I think I'll have a Sunday Coffee next week because I really do need to meet some close by gardening buddies. look for a post.
