When you say chives, do you mean green onions? I ask because the chives I’ve seen around here are really thin and tiny.
Thanks!
I sure do! Chives tend to be a little smaller and grow straight from the ground in little bunches. They don’t have the white stem that green onions have and taste a little more mild.
will this have enough calories as a meal on its own, would you mind telling me how many calories something like this woulc contain, cant wait to try it….btw have watched all of your vids today and i must say i am very inspired

Avocados are commercially valuable and are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates throughout the world. They have a green-skinned, fleshy body that may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. Commercially, it ripens after harvesting. Trees are partially self-pollinating and often are propagated through grafting to maintain a predictable quality and quantity of the fruit..
