My first figs are beginning to form, and the olive trees are prolific.

I just noticed today that there are tiny figs forming on the fig trees. If so, figs are much much easier to grow than olives in a greenhouse. That said, this will be my first bumper crop of olives; the tree below is a Koroneiki, one of many with lots of tiny olives.

My figgy has so pretty large fruits already.

My figs are just showing signs of buds. They over wintered in unheated green house. I moved them outside about 10 days ago. I have Brown turkey and Chicago hardy.

Jackb, what kind of figs do you have? Rats chewed on the tips of my fig tree and ate the tiny buds. I'm hoping I may still get a few later on.

Hi Mary,

I have two brown turkey, and one each of: White Marseilles, Black Mission and Violet De Bordeaux. By the way Mary, the yellow powder you see on the olive leaves is pollen. I hope your hand pollinating was a success.

That's really great!

But, aren't those those infamous Terrorist Olive trees that the FBI and Secret Service, and James Bond, and a bunch of commandos had to confiscate enroute in the postal service?

Hi Marshall!
You are referring to the infamous Tirilye from our friendly ally Turkey. Now, do you really think I would have one of those?

I took my fig tree outside yesterday. Had my camera, so here's a photo of my biggest fig.

Wow I still don't have leaves (hope there alive)

Mine either! I could have sworn the buds looked good, but they've not come out yet.
