also Highly recommend you buy hass seedlings fomr a nursery so you get the right rootstock and the friut you want.
Their climate requirements are specific( it is difficult to grow Hass well here – at sea level in the tropics (Costa Rica) for instance- but i am trying too! I planted seedlings two yrs ago and apparenlty have a few years to wait , so maybe you can find a nursery selling older young trees)

Hello Jeanine, I’ve been reading your blog since forever, but this is my first time commenting. I live in Lille (France), where there is no such thing as Mexican or Texan cuisine, except for a few highly processed sauces and tortillas. A friend of mine visited from Austin a while ago, and brought me bags of dried chiles, which I had no idea how to use (as I’ve never really eaten Mexican food, not even in a restaurant). Then I made your dried chile salsa, and LOVED it. I wanted to taste it the moment I made it, and spread some on a slice of bread, and topped it with fresh goat cheese. It was delicious. Then for breakfast, I made your recipe for chilaquiles (using my own home-made corn tortillas, adding sliced radishes on top for some crunch, and substituting the cotija cheese – can’t be found here – with feta). It was truly delicious! Even my difficult boyfriend loved it. So much flavor, and so unusual to my French palate. I’ve still got piles of dried chiles in my cupboard, so I’ll definitely be making those two recipes again. Thank you, thank you!

What a great recipe! Substituted the fried egg with a poached one to make it a bit healthier and some black beans and tomato salad. It was truly delicious 🙂

That looks awesome! Ive been growing my avocado tree for about 2 yrs and its about 5 ft tall. This was the 1 seed out of a sozen that decided to grow. We live in Missouri so I keep it inside at all times.

In reply to Caitlin @ teaspoon. Cilantro is hard! I've been pretty successful with most herbs (and what I mean by that is that they have grown on their own, no help from me :)... my cilantro has always flowered over.

I have a black thumb…I tried to grow cilantro on 2 occasions and it hasn’t worked out yet. I am hoping third time is a charm! Good luck on your Avo tree…that would sure save some money 🙂 These look delicious! I can’t wait to try them.
