Hot peppers make kids run fast like rabbits. More figs will fit in great!

Belle! Take it slow! I had 1 fig tree 3 year ago.....🙄🔫

[Hot Stuff]

Ha, I don't I've ever done anything moderately--except work.

Looks good. You have done a nice job with the cutting. Moderation is over rated!

I'll probably give a couple to my mother. She loves growing things. We've been expanding our collection of bay leaf varieties for the last couple of years.

[Hershell]

Bay Leaf Varieties? Don't tell me that there's something else to collect.

Laurel nobilis, bay leaf. Yep, time to hop on it.

[Hershell]

Just as soon as I have all the fig varieties I'll get started. I have one bay tree now as a decoy.

[Hot Stuff]

Start off with the pie crust variety. It's the most flavorful.

[Hershell]

I hate to ask but I will. Here goes, where do I get one. It's a weakness

[Harborseal]

Tell us about bay leaf varieties! I didn't know there was more than one.

[Hershell]

There you go Bob, trying to get me addicted

[Hot Stuff]

Well you have your common. There is a Greek that is a lot like the common. Pie Crust (called because of the wavy edges like a pie crust), Willow leaf aka augustifolia, aurea (golden), sicilian, Just to name a few you can order online in the states. Here's list of cultivars: http://www.laurusinfo.com/eng/laurus...cultivars.html

Potting up some of my LSU Purple. roots were building up at the bottom of the coke bottles.

[Hot Stuff]

This little fellers leaves all fell off but it had a huge amount of roots at the bottom of the coke bottle. So I repotted it. You can see a little green num coming on now.
