Today I would like to share a neat tip with you. Fig trees (Ficus carica) are an ideal option for those who are new to gardening because they’re simple to grow and care for. Furthermore, you can grow some varieties in a container; such as the dwarf fig known as the ‘Little Miss Figgy’, which typically stays below 2 to 3 feet (60-90 centimeters) in height. Optimal fruit yields occur when they’re placed in direct sunlight in the summer, and a cool, protected location in the fall and winter. You can incorporate sand or perlite into the soil mix to improve drainage, particularly if you’re planting in a container. Select a pot that has a minimum diameter of 18-24 inches (45-60 centimeters) to give space for root growth.

“That’s great you’ve found something else! What are you doing now?”
“I’m a bus driver.”
