    Take your finger and gently press on the side opposite the stem-if it's soft, rock on!

    Or you can wait until they fall off. That's the easy way, but it bruises the fruit....You can put a net around the tree, that's too much work....

    If you pick them while they are hard, place them in a paper sack in a cool, dark place and in a few days they'll be ready.

    I live in California, and have a very fruity avocado tree in the backyard. I lost count of the fruits when I hit 200!!

    In a few weeks I'll have lots of avocados. What else can I do with them beside making avocado salad & the infamous guacamole?
