It'll be time to begin planning the humble new planting season. But I've already got a few new ideas without having to do much thinking: there will be more figs :>) ...

The surprisingly copious fruit from this 1.5 year old white fig tree did its stuff, ripening at the last moment. But what a treat! I and my entourage thanked the plant many, many times.

This year I'll be planting a black variety that bears fruit twice a year. Sounds good!

To my surprise, figs are extremely hardy plants. If they thrive in Paris, I can't imagine they'd have difficulty in Switzerland, Italy, Hungary, Germany, and elsewhere, either in the ground or in a container. -- caveat, they do need sun.

Small, potentially useful, most definitely delectable, pleasures in troubling times.
