Around the garden

 Our fig tree is doing really well. No figs yet though. 

Cherry, I love figs and I will give it another try.  I hope you get some fruit soon.

Thanks

I have no idea. I never heard of anyone trying...

That's interesting. I am going to look into that.

One of my other banana trees is flowering. It continues to be a great year for bananas.

Cherry, now I can see myself singing this around the house. 

Do you have good soil?

Such a pretty bug, but remember to kill it on sight if it's in your area.. very destructive.

I don't think we have those in Florida but I will check.

I'm thinking of putting in a tangerine tree. That will round of my citrus trees.

I do wonder about some of the more recent varieties of fruit. I imagine some are bred to grow on little plants in greenhouses rather than an orchard of old.

Now the garden is clearing with this years plants I am wondering what to grow next year. I got an email a few days ago from a seed company I use indicating that onion sets are now avaiable. I am not sure about them though as the last time I bought some I ended up with container after container of onions lol. They are some of the cheapest things to buy so I probably won't grow them but it has prompted me to plan for later this and early next year. I like to change things a bit to make it more interesting. I am now looking at the seed catalogues for inspiration

Just like oranges Cherry.

oooo such a thrill seeker.

We had some lovely golden plums at our old house, so we brought seeds with us, and followed all the advice, but so far none have germinated.
