A Modest Start

Hello Everyone,

I took a couple of pictures that I thought I would share.  There are a couple of pictures of my 3 year old Celeste I got from local hardware.

One picture of LSU Scotts black that I got from Bass earlier this year (on left) and a vista I started from encanto cutting last winter.

Thanks for looking,

Womack

Looking good, Womack. Nice growth!

This post isn't about the doggies?  :-)) Good job, Womack!

Thanks,
The dingo's are for scale

Womack, good looking tree, have any of the figs ripened yet on the celeste?

PHD,
I have had about ten over the last three weeks. Have several more to go. I have had some immature fruit drop over the last week. I hope the dropping isn't an indication of problems to come.

Very Nice looking plants.  Your dogs like them too.  Thanks for sharing.

Just so one day you don't claim 'the dingos ate my figs'.  ;)

Fig plants dime a dozen, dogs not so and wonderful to have around thanks for showing the animals.  ; )

Great start Womack, looking good.

Martin, If I send you a dime would you send me a dozen.

Thanks everyone,

Gina,
I would trust my lab with anything, but the little one is a rambunctious pup, and I wouldn't put anything past her.

Dieseler,
I agree there is nothing like a good dog.

Gene,
I am with you

My comment was a play on the old Elaine Benes line (from Seinfeld) - the dingo ate my baby - which has always made me laugh.

Is the cute little pup one of the queen's Corgi's?

Any concern that the Celeste's roots will spread under the nearby patio? 

Gina,
I thought of that line when I read your original post, but could not remember where it was from. The pup is a corgi about three months old and full of piss and vinegar.

Mayson,
Not worried about the roots but would like to know if anyone has had any bad experiences.

I just looked it up. The original was from a real-life story in Australia. Meryl Streep was in a movie about it, A Cry in the Dark. And apparently after that, there were a number of spoofs/parodies, including the Seinfeld one.

For anyone who wants to take a break from pampering your figs, here is more stuff including clips of Elaine Benes (funnier than I remembered), Bart Simpson, and others:
