Table Talk » Miss Figgy emerges from winter storage

Remember Miss Figgy? When you last saw her, it was July and she looked like this. It's too cold here for figs to survive winter, so Miss Figgy spent the winter in the garage. In November we put her in the back corner of the garage and I didn't pay any attention to her until Saturday when I took a peek to see if she survived the winter. I was prepared to find a pot of dead sticks, but boy was I surprised. I was shocked to see that she had buds forming. Lots of buds. She came out of the garage on Sunday and got a well-deserved drink. It's still cold at night, so she'll be coming in to the kitchen until our nights are consistently above 45 degrees.

All of her branches have leaf or fig buds or both! She's not photogenic because she is sticks with buds, but she shows great promise. I see at 4 fig buds, maybe more, some of the buds are so small that I can't tell if they are leaf buds or fig buds. You'll be seeing more of her as she grows this season.
