    1. Avocado season
    Fuerte avocados usually ripen from now through March. Pick one or two now by cutting stems close to the fruit, not breaking them off, and let them ripen a few days indoors. If they soften without shriveling, the crop is probably ready to harvest, but try these first to make sure they taste right. If they don’t taste quite right yet, give them another couple of weeks, and then try again. You don’t need to harvest the whole crop at once.
