The past few days I've been up-potting figs into larger containers. And I want to give them more room in general. And 'more room' means expanding the area the figs take up. So I've decided to colonize some of the front driveway. It's concrete, relatively large, warm and in full sun, and there is a nice area where there are no cars. I've used it in the past as a plant ghetto, and it can actually look nice. I have 3 other Fig Ghettos in the yard, and this will be adjacent to one of them, ...so it's not really a new one, is it? Nah.
I'm moving various figs up into 10 (12?) gallon pots and 15s. Never have been sure what these pot sizes are, but they should do. Since they'll be on concrete and we are in a drought, I'm going to put them on saucers so all water will be absorbed. Not official saucers, but plastic lined square nursery flats. Should work. In this way the roots won't grow into the soil below, which will make working with them in the future much easier too. And being on the warmer concrete might help ripening too.
Anyone else have fig ghettos?
