I'm not impressed with the Peruvian avocados. They don't ripen as easily and aren't as creamy. It appears to be another product picked too early and shipped too far.
North Texas is a very good climate for eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, okra, and much more. Summer is so hot everything kind of languishes, but fall is glorious with cooler days. The first frost is typically in mid-November.
Perhaps not vegan, but considering cutting out a lot of meat, looking for alternate sources of food protein, and looking for healthy meat that doesn't come from feed lots, confining pens, etc. It might be considered progress.
