Desperately looking for one thing related for the letter F and within the labels was…….. Figs and the final time that Figs acquired a point out was at Christmas 2020 when a Fig tree in a pot was delivered at Clay Cottage prepared for me to plant it right here once I finally acquired right here.
I should have forgotten to label the put up once I planted it, which might have been early June final yr however because of the search operate I discovered this image of what it regarded like when it was introduced right here. It is that small “persist with a leaf” second pot from the left.
| The vegetation I introduced with me in Could final yr. |
I lifted a half slab on the patio and minimize away the weed suppressant materials from beneath to make a small house to plant it final summer time. Books all the time say that figs like having their roots restricted and I do know the fig tree we had on the smallholding which had a great deal of room to unfold did not produce as many figs as I’d have anticipated from an enormous tree.
That is the way it seems to be now, it is 5 ft tall after a yr and 5 months! which is fairly good going contemplating the unique rising tip caught the frost final winter after which this summers dry climate – however it is among the issues I watered recurrently.
There are some figs beginning to develop, however they might fall off over winter. In scorching nations they’ve two crops a yr.
HERE is a post about Figs written in August 2020
It is odd to assume that I might by no means even eaten a contemporary fig till the tree produced some on the smallholding.
Again Tomorrow
