Another year, another learning experience.
We are in the middle of a long drought which may or may not be alleviated this winter. Because of that, and having to hand water so many containers, I've decided to put most of my figs into the ground. Come Nov/Dec/Jan, I'm going to be root pruning, perhaps somewhat bare-rooting, and planting them out. Duplicates of my top favorite varieties will be kept in pots. It will be hedge style, planted closely and pruned short every year. I think they will grow better and be much easier to take care of.
That's the plan anyway.
What different things are you going to be doing next year?
