The thirty figs on Figgy are not developing well. I am totally puzzled as the fruits were small, hollow and turned yellow before they got bigger. There goes hope of eating more figs this year. The tree is very tall and leafy for its pot, so I am unsure if it was not able to draw up enough nutrients or water from its potting mix.I placed a saucer under the pot and watered daily but nothing seemed to work.
On the other hand, Big Fig which did not put on any figs early this year, has finally grown some. The figs look like they are going to be fine for eating.

| Big Fig (brown turkey) with its fruits protected by organza bags which I bought from Ebay. My son says Big Fig 's a boy. |
 |
| We harvested some carrots. Our first try at growing them. Fantastic result! |
 |
| Pesky black birds have been trying to go for my Carolina Black Rose grapes even though I have netted my vine. So I resorted to organza bags which is very effective. |
 |
| These flowers have bloomed. They are called pigface. Definitely dont look like pig's faces. |
 |
| The pathetic-looking passionfruit vine outside my garage is finally growing. I think if it survives, it will be really slow-growing, I dont mind as long as it greens up this brick wall. |
 |
| The other passionfruit vine next to my patio is also growing, but better. |
 |
| Eggplant Bonita's 2nd fruit and several more to come. |
 |
| More sweet corns at the patch in front of our garage have all been harvested. I grew lots of corns this season and am sick of eating them already. |
