I have no idea how this may turn out, but an experiment in quick ripening of avocados the husband bought and described as "harder than a country boy's pecker".

Under a glass bowl in the shade for an hour, and now the sun is creeping in. Do they release gases like tomatoes and bananas in a bag? I don't know, but seems reasonable.

The bowl is to trap any gases and hopefully prevent birds or squirrels from pecking or licking at them. Is that a thing birds or squirrels might do to an avocado or no?

« No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen. »
