I've only started two or three avacado seeds with the toothpick and water method, and yes, luckely we have easy access to avacados! :D
That's a small village a few kilometers away from here! They have a pub we go to sometimes when it's hot and we want beer and icecream ;) I would love to see your garden one day, and I'm sure he could fit you in on hes next trip! ;)
