I "figured" it was a tasty fruit lol.
Dam, figs are the best! Put them in salads or just eat them fresh Mmmmm...
I got to says, sometimes your gardening post make painfully aware that I don't have enough outdoor space :(
Literally a driveway is what I have to work with haha...
However, sad as I may be, I have some big plans for next year partly due to a collective inspiration by you and a few other steemians who do the outdoor thing : )
This post reminded me of a great little success I once had a few years back when I was new to gardening.
I'm no expert in plant Propagation even still, however, I have this one little success story to share with everyone!
A few years back I had planted a few cherry tomato younglings in both the ground at my old place and urns on my old deck. They grew really well that year and then one day a squirrel literally decapitated an entire booming plant from it's roots...
My heart sank my friends. It was my second year grown tomatoes I think and now one was dead. or so I thought initially.. I did some research and I wanted to transplant and regrow a clone bc I had read about that being a successful option. Of course, when I went to get "rootgrow" (something recommended for this situation) from the local nursery the gardener there told me that my baby was doomed and that it would't survive or grow roots again..
Crushed as I was, I'm also a stubborn ass bastard, so I shrugged off his advice and opted to try and save my plant. What did I have to lose at this point.
I ended up just placing the "healthiest" portion that wasn't yet dying off into a long glass of water and put it inside, on a window ledge i direct sunlight...
It took a few weeks (i think 3) but roots indeed grew and then I eventually transplanted it back into its urn and what do you know, it ended up providing a bunch of tomatoes in the end!
Just goes to show!
