Planting the Tree

We planted the avocado tree on Sunday January 20.

Fi got in on the action:

It didn’t take long to dig the hole and fill it up again:

We thought it would take a really long time, but the soil was soft so digging was not as difficult as anticipated.

John took a rest:

Fi ate a snack while the tree was being planted:

She was excited to see the planted tree, ran out the door and fell:

My parents have an avocado tree now, and if the little tag on it is true, we will have avocados before Fiona starts kindergarten, and maybe even sooner! Matan loved avocados and I think the tree is a fitting tribute to him and Tu Bi’Shvat.
