Miscellanious Plants

very nice! thx for posting them, Nelson.

Thanks Ruben, I must say though that the plants this year are atleast 3 weeks behind compared to last season. Raspberry Latte so far survived -12 celcius in the garage with no damage whats so ever. One of my Preto Plants just kicked the bucket now sure why but it was already 5ft tall and was leafing out glad I had 2 or else I would of been screwed.

Hey Nelson here is a Italian secret passed down from my great grandmother she used to use panty hose cut in thin strips to tie up her tomatoe plants because it will stretch while the plant grows bigger while string will cut into the plant and dosen't allow more room for growth. hope this helps you!!!!

Very Beautiful Nelson.Looks like your gonna be eating lots and lots of figs.Goodluck with all your figs.I like the last pic with all the brebas.What kind of fig is that?Thanks and God Bless.

Hey Robert, the last two pics is the Bronze Paradiso " Dusan Strain" that's my father's plant mine is about half the size due to heavy pruning. Love this fig very very nice flavour and extremely productive if all those breba's ripen I doubt I will eat much main crop figs though.

Nelson, your plants look very good with the many branches.  I like the Bourjassotte Noire stem coloration.  You've don a good job for sure.  Your soil looks very loamy and easy to dig.  In my neck of the woods, I use a mattock and then a shovel in our clay chirt.

I had missed these great pictures (somehow).
These seemed to be almost a month ahead of my plants in Ottawa.
It may be close to harvest time for the breba for your plants. Enjoy.

Here are the Bonze Paradiso Breba's pics taken on saturday.
