I've got to get it together. So sorry.<br /><br />Apparently, quite a bit has happened in your life over the past two months. Get better, alright?<br /><br />As for the fig, they drop leaves every year, but they are hardy trees. I'm sure that, if it's getting water, it'll be alright. At least, I hope so.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409883521642115031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1739165937859822298.post-28631984664063321422014-03-26T02:19:48.144-07:002014-03-26T02:19:48.144-07:00Wasn't so much writer's block for me, Josh...Wasn't so much writer's block for me, Josh, as internet block. It is raining very heavily in the city (although annoyingly not here just sixty clicks away) and all the signals went down for nearly two weeks!<br /><br />My fig is doing OK. Bearing in mind it was posted as a 12" sapling from Chicago to Texas and then hand carried out here to Angola, I am amazed it survived. All the leaves had fallen off but it developed two at the top and then two sprouts at the bottom. The top then died off but the two sprouts have developed into leaf laden branches so I just snipped the dead top stalk off.<br /><br />And, blow me down, as I am typing this, it has STARTED TO RAIN!!!! This is only the second time in two years!Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1739165937859822298.post-13790837528314593352014-03-21T17:05:02.497-07:002014-03-21T17:05:02.497-07:00Hey, Dad!

In frustration I snapped off the top of one of the shoots (whatever they are called)and found that it was full of milk. Do you think it will eventually bud?<br />DadBudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651923580699187105noreply@blogger.com
