Fig tree or bush
Posted by: Can the Man - 11-09-2022, 01:40 AM - Replies (5)

i bought a very small fig plant back in the spring, I was warned to not plant it in the garden unless I sow it in a washing machine drum to prevent it from putting all its energy into roots instead of fruit. So I planted it in a planter that I can moved inside the tunnel in the winter.
I was very surprised last week to find some babies.     
Some people have told me to plant it in one of the raised beds in the tunnel and leave it in there all year round.
Any suggestions from experience???

I need some ideas for a little sales table.
It’s for my plant and flower bunches and possibly some of Bob’s wood turning.
It must protect from sheep/deer/ wind & rain. Still be visible from the road for people driving past and look good  Huh .

What do you mean, that’s a tall order    Big Grin .

  Propagating mint from root cuttings

I know you can stick a stem in a jar of water - but I need more than a couple of plants and I don't have many stems left to take.

Has anyone taken cuttings from roots? How successful is it? I would like to make quite a few plants...

I've acquired about 12 of these crates (green ones) and I have a vague plan on how to use them. 

First, I'd like to know what you would use them for - then I'll tell you my idea. Big Grin
