I completely forgot to tell our cat sitter to water our garden while we were on vacation. So quite a few things did not do so well. The fig tree did ok (it has lost it's leaves, but it's already budding some new ones) and the figs are starting to ripen nicely. There are 37 total figs on the little tree and it's definitely bending under the burden....I just have to decide what to do with all of them...Eating out of hand is the first option, my second thought is some sort fig jam or something similar. Mmmmmm fig jam.
It came with the house. Don't know if it grew this way naturally or (more likely) whether it was a result of bad pruning.
I love the fig leaves growing in the spring they have an excellent shape and start off so tiny getting bigger and bigger
A large fig tree across the street from the Waimea United Church of Christ. Taken within the town of Waimea.
Some species of Oxyopidae in the backyard, on the fig tree. I guess they don't just eat ants.
The bug is some kind of little fly or gnat that are very common in our yard.
Rainbow lorikeets eating figs just outside the kitchen window. These were taken on Friday, the day before the hottest day in Melbourne's history. Even though it's a pretty hefty tree it was looking very, very sad. The lorikeets came back this morning when the tree had perked up a bit. No point calling them fair-weather friends - anything out in the sun yesterday would have been baked.
