The little fig tree that could!



What a difference a year makes!! The little Chicago fig tree with just three shoots (by the end of the summer) that only grew about a foot tall last summer is absolutely huge by comparison!

We have raised bed gardens and set the Fig tree, pot and all, down into the deep soil to protect it from the winter temperatures.  Now, we are just waiting to see if we ever get any blooms and fruit!!

May need to repot it before this coming winter; it will be wintering back in the raised bed along with the Paw Paw trees and the Goji berry bush.
