A long, hot summer with regular watering and use of mulch has meant happy trees up in the back section. I can’t believe Fred the Fig and Fiona the Feijoa each produced two fruits in the first year. I’ve cleared the weeds and put on more mulch (the ground is already wet from rain). Hopefully we’ll get more next year.
No olives on Olive yet, but lots of growth
