Figs were showing an awful lot of fruit.Two cold snaps took the leaves off most of the fig trees; they shriveled and turned black. Figs next to the house however lost almost zero leaves. Giant sunflowers are unhappy from the recent cold but all alive at their posts and rabbits mostly ignoring them. Mulberries are small and white now but will soon turn black. Muscadine grapes are happy and thriving in all situations so far, and air layering has been a success with them. Worm activity in all bins of different substrates even with neglect are proving their hardiness and breeding up a storm. Castings will be amended into whatever I grow this season.

Good to have some fig trees without much damage. Mulberries-I have not had since I was in elementary school. My grandparents rented a house that had a big tree, and I used to climb up in it and eat them and get stain all over myself and clothes. LOL
