Welcome! I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous boys, proud owner of an online handmade store and an avid gardener. This blog records most of my gardening journey over a few properties. We have recently moved to a new permanent property and it's time to start gardening again! I enjoy time-out in my home garden looking at and photographing birds, insects and plants. It is also a haven for my sons and golden retriever. May you enjoy your visits here. :)

Fig (Brown Turkey)
Remember the brown turkey fig tree which I mentioned looked dead? The top 10cm shrivelled and died and I cut it off. I pulled the whole tree out of the potting mix one day and regretted and planted it back, because I was not about to give up. And that paid off! Flemings told me that by November if there is no sign of life, it is probably dead. I waited and waited and it is already mid-December. But wow! Some of the buds are growing! So obvious that I know the stick is not dead yet!!! Can't wait to see the buds grow into leaves :
