| Vancouver Brunswick Fig. Spring growth. |
Honeybees are lying around the hives. It look like they are starting to settle in. Not much going on with foraging.
Vancouver Brunswick fig is making nice growth with little brebas. This tree spent 2013 recovering from having been moved Dec 2012. Then new growth was frost killed early 2013. Then hard freeze late 2013. But looking good now. Of the older trees I moved to Battleground,
Brunswick and
Sal's fig are looking the best.
Petite negri may be dead. Of the new starts from last year, all were top-killed.
Tiger and
Champagne are making new growth from the base. These may not be as freeze-tolerant as the others, or it might be they were young and I grew them too lush. So no fertilizing this year. I will give them more time, but so far
Atreano,
Smith and
Carini look dead. I have replacements for all of them.
Camassia looking nice. Why don't more people grow it? I bought this as one potted plant last spring. When the foliage died down, I divided it and replanted. Now each has 4 new growths.
Potatoes growing lush in the tree-ring wishing wells. Soon will need to add more soil.
Strawberries in bloom. Protected from deer and rabbits. I hope. Last year they were all eaten off when blooming.
Snowpeas growing fast too. If not caged, they would also be eaten off.
