@AlmondTiddies my gma has one that has all her journals from 1981-now locked in it and we’re not allowed to open it until she passes. only time she opened it in front of me was when I was 5 and couldn’t read cursive. she was married 3 times and we ALL want to know what’s written in them 😂
@Helen_Highly@ksusys@ccarollllll So amazing!! Sorry to assume you weren’t aware, I come across so many people in my area who have killed them doing the very same thing- and not even on a balcony. It’s obvious from your photos that you’re a wonderful plant parent! Do you happen to know the variety?
@purrplecircles @mike_boaz@ccarollllll Can’t eat the fruit when it hasn’t been treated and has rot, fire blight, or scab. Fruit trees are highly susceptible to diseases. Not an easy task to get some fruit.
@Helen_Highly@ksusys@ccarollllll Also, bring the fig inside when night temps go under 50 unless it’s a very hardy variety like Olympia, or Brown Turkey. Pots are like bridges, they’ll freeze first when it gets cold.
@Helen_Highly@ksusys@ccarollllll You can’t grow citrus trees outside year round in Manhattan. Not even where I am near Bmore. The main reason fruit trees are not in cities is bc the diseases and insects they are susceptible to are too hard to control and too costly to do so. Congrats on the fig though!!
@ccarollllll Female, fruit bearing trees don’t just magically produce “free fruit.” Everyone from backyard to commercial farmers spend tons of $ treating fruit trees bc of how many diseases & insects they’re susceptible to. You’d only end up with diseased, immature fruit on the sidewalk.
