Whatever. In my part of the world the seed market is excellent. I recently planted out 9 pumpkin seedlings, which are doing well thanks to the recent rain.

I've also got about 30 capsicum seedlings and two lychees, which are coming along nicely. That was a substantial seed round, Series B. Recently I added to my seed empire by planting three avocado pips - they will take some time to grow. I think that makes them Series C.

These are all heirloom and organic (actually, veganic) and will reduce my food bill by a tangible amount, which is great because my investors are demanding and hungry for more. Where I live, organic produce is exorbitant.

Of course should the seed market tank, I've got a hedge in that my day job is primarily focused on designing distributed data pipelines and data-related architecture.

Cute tongue in cheek reply.

  >> planting three avocado pips

If you search on "planting avocado seeds", the first page of results are on how to plant them, with little discussion of why not to plant them.

“Ungrafted” trees (like those grown inside from seeds) rarely produce fruit. In order to have an avocado tree that produces fruit, one must graft the seedling."

Thanks for that link.

I'm taking a portfolio approach, whereby I'll average in over time until I'm holding about 20 or so plants. Worst case I'll have some lovely shade and beautiful green trees.
