Pittsburgh Hardy fig cutting from this spring has decided to fruit. It's growing roots out through the bottom of the pot.

Tacoma Violet cutting from this spring is also fruiting. I didn't notice extra roots when I moved the pot last.

The other cuttings from this spring that grew don't show fruit. I'm ok with that, next year should be awesome once these guys are in the ground where that can get huge. I think I'll order more cuttings from the same vendor as the ones that didn't grow were my fault.

I'm also not sure if the ones that didn't grow, might try to grow this coming spring. The cutting wood still looks ok, at least the upper area I see above the soil. Is there a way to tell if they are truly dead or just dormant?

Figs are great about that! They will plant themselves if you don't do it for them.

Dead = all dried out stem.

But... even if the top is dead and dried out, the bottom might be ok....

Speaking of weeds....

This is my zucchini plant, the tomatoes are under the cattle panel arch to the left.

My harvest yesterday, the zucchini is 10" long!

Panoramic of the garden area, the black thing is a trash can, then the tomatoes are slightly to the right, then the small cleared area, then the monster zucchini before you get back into weeds

My horses, just because they are pretty, and they are also standing in weeds (there are 3 in the picture)

@Kusanar your horse picture reminds me of fall weeds when the garden is done and I turn the sheep in it. Instant disappearing sheep! Haha

You should see it when they wade down in the pigweed patch, the big horses (15.3-16hh) barely show, the little guy (32") doesn't stand a chance down there.

Thank you both! I feel better about my garden failure....turned my goats in much earlier!

Really, right now, the won't stop rain is getting their belly wet on tall grass.

Glad my weeds can make you feel better. That was the intention, but still funny.

Dug up some redskins just to see , pulled 4 plants they're ugly but they taste good. Voles are back, saw some bite marks. Don't know how to stop them.



That's ALL the russets I try them every year. Look bigger than they are.

At least you got potatoes. The best potatoes I ever grew was planted in a big pile of leaves. I mixed horse manure and lime in the leaves, let them sit for a couple of months and planted potatoes in them. Biggest and prettiest potatoes i ever grew!
