Trees & Compost in March 2010

Here is Fig Tree.  I planted him the summer I moved here, so he's 5 1/2 years old.  I thought I killed him the first year - and I promised I'd take care of him if he would come back the next spring.  He did, and we've been tight ever since.  Last year we got a nice harvest - enough figs to make Jam and Chutney and plenty of fresh fig eating.  This year it'll be even better I'm sure.  Marcel pruned him this fall, so he's looking very nice - can't wait to see him all leafed out!





Unfortunate frost damage to "Dino-Palm" - I'm going to trim him up tomorrow.  Poor guy.


Here are the Pomegranate bushes.  They are taking their time coming back to life.  I was a little worried, but this morning when walked out to the compost bin and checked them out - I saw some leaves.  Whew!



There's potatoes growing in one of my compost bins.... lol   I'm going to keep adding leaves as they grow, and we'll see what happens.
