The Fig Tree

Another perfect day up here; rain is a'coming in the next couple of days, which is much-needed for the garden. Did some weeding of asparagus beds & decided to start the anti-fruitfly regimen today. Painted containers & main branches with eco-natural lure; an organic deterrent. This needs to be repeated weekly.

Our nectarine's all suffered "brown rot" so we didn't get any....sad if we have to remove the tree so will try to do something using milk/water/few drops dish liquid next winter/spring....

Another of our Xmas gifts arrived; ingredients/pack for making Ginger Beer...Mmmmm. Will get onto that later....thank you for the lovely gift, Bekki!
