What can we do to care for them in that particular month? Which main varieties can be harvested then? For example, here in December, you can certainly start harvesting Stewart and you might start picking Zutano, Bacon, and Fuerte too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/December-avocado-calendar-2021.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11745\" width=\"322\" height=\"510\"\/><figcaption>The December foldout: excited to harvest the new year&#8217;s crop.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the calendar I&#8217;ve also included a watering table for newly planted trees, as well as some space for notes about the year&#8217;s yields, harvest times, watering schedules, and plantings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My goal for the avocado calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, I see the calendar as a right-hand man to an avocado tree growing in your yard. If I were selling you an avocado tree, I would want to sell you this calendar to go with it because the calendar includes basic care information, and it directs you to specific posts on my website for topics that the calendar doesn&#8217;t have space for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that someone would have a hard time failing at growing an avocado tree when armed with this calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I believe that anyone who loves to grow avocado trees &#8212; or even eat them &#8212; would enjoy and benefit from the calendar&#8217;s display of photos and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do note that this calendar is, as this website in general is, tailored to Southern California. The information is mostly accurate for other parts of California, but it grows less accurate the farther you get from Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How I use this calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have made avocado calendars for myself in past years. Personally, I use my avocado calendars to not only be reminded of timely care for my trees but also to note my activities. I like to keep track of my watering schedules and harvest times, when I&#8217;ve planted a tree or when I notice growth or flowering. But that&#8217;s me. The calendar&#8217;s squares are blank so you could use them for this or any other purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A few details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The calendar is 8.5 x 11 inches folded and 17 x 22 inches opened. It is saddle stitched and hole punched for hanging on a wall. It is printed in the USA (Minnesota), and the cost is $25 with shipping included.
