Fig Tree

 Monday

28th September, 2020


My small garden today. 




The fig tree presented by Sam to me is showing early Spring growth ! 



Above:  The larger of the two small Tibouchina trees presented to me by Sandra san

a few months ago ( June, 2020 ) is going from strength-to-strength.  Looking forward

to seeing some purple blossoms soon. 

Below: From my local nursery .... stunning flower. 


Above: I took a cutting from Sam's fig tree and planted it a year ago. 

It's going gangbusters !  

Below: I am trialing how effective putting glass bottles over my small

plants to act as humidifiers really is. It's interesting to observe daily. 



Above: I took a leaf from Sam's fig tree a year ago and planted it. 

The root system underneath betrays the size of the plant above ground. 

The root system is most extensive. I have noticed a big improvement in budding

since I put the glass bottle over the plant itself. 

Below:  My tomatoes are growing well, hopefully to the point of bearing fruit. 




Above:  Jalapeno plants are coming out of their Winter hibernation. 




Above and Below:  Sam's chili bush is undergoing the bottle treatment

in an endeavour to obtain a large number of chilis in a short space of time. 

Fingers crossed for a positive result. 



Above:  A mango tree ( Kensington Pride variety ) which I am growing from seed. 

Below: Also a mango tree which I am growing from seed ... in need of help. 

So, my remedy is to place a bottle of the stem to see if that does the trick. 

Wait n' see, I guess ... 












My small inner-city garden assists in my sanity during this COVID-19 crisis / lock down.

Wikipedia: 

Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objet d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism.

A ferocious hail storm hit about 3 am

Smashed the company car to smithereens ! 

What a disaster. 

House copped a bit however stood up well. 















Ian Day and his tractor helping me out yet again. 

Thanks, Mate ! 


One of Ian's dairy cows wandered by to say Hi. 

Have a nice day. 




Les the bricklayer did a lot of work to improve 

the outside areas.
