Happy Birthday to Denis! Woo hoo!
There are more warmer days happening here. The plants in my back yard are liking it. The amaryllises have bloomed. They have more bloom spikes this year than they did last year. And the nasturtiums I grew from seed a year ago are finally blooming!
And the fig already has a fruit on it. Woo hoo! Hopefully I can eat it before a bird or bug does.
And speaking of food, I’m growing some potatoes this year. When you grow them in containers, you’re supposed to plant them way at the bottom in shallow soil, then as they grow, you bury the stems and slowly fill the pot. That way, roots grow off the stems, and you get more potatoes. I did this back in Baltimore with a storage tub. This time, I’m just using a pot.
The pot to the left is herbs. Yay, herbs!
Happy Birthday, Denis!!
I am thinking about growing only pots of potatoes at school. They seem pretty hardy, and when fall comes ….. potatoes! Are your nearby herbs delicious on potatoes? Because that’s a potentially delicious photo.
Somebody gave me a fig cutting, and it has taken root. A few leaves have started to break out as well. What is the proper care and keeping of a fig plant????
Kristi, they like lots of sun, rich soil, and water. In the winter they don’t need as much water when they aren’t actively growing.
Thanks, Brad. I don’t think it’s big enough to plant outdoors yet, but I can give it plenty of sun in front of my window.
