Great pics! Looks like where I grew up! i thought that’s how everyone lived, when I was little!

Love your mom’s hair braided and coiled around her head.

How’s the fig doing? We got most of ours transplanted into single pots this week.

The fig was going to be my next post. As you know it arrived in great shape, leaves and all. After I got it into the ground the leaves started wilting slightly and over the last few days started turning from green to yellow, Touching the yellow leaves this morning they just fell off. Is this normal for a transplant? I know the roots have to start first ... maybe some more time is needed for it to root out?

Hey gardengirl! I have received the best gifts ever in the last two weeks, but they are going to require a bunch of work on my part. Eight mayhaw trees (between 1-2 ft.) and fourteen muscadine vines. I found some plans for a muscadine trellis system online and I have a friend that has a very beautiful muscadine system that has been established for close to 20 years. Figure that between the plans and an actual functioning system, I should get all of the guidance I need in construction. Right now just trying to figure out where on the property these things will get planted. We are really excited.
