WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

I’ve got a bunch of new growth on some old grape vines we transplanted from our Pastor’s house to our place, plus I discovered that my blueberry bush isn’t dead after all and so I have to say I know how you feel!!!!!!!!!

Sure looks like a fig tree to me! If the tree was ‘own root’ and not grafted, that shoot should be the same tree you originally planted.

You would not believe the number of people that have come in this past week demanding refunds for plants that they’ve dug up...THAT ARE STILL ALIVE and just haven’t come up yet!

Butterfly Bush, St. John’s Wort (Hypericum), mid-summer to fall blooming perennials and a few other slow starters. Good Lord, People! Everything has it’s season. Leave your yards alone, LOL!

BTW, I DON’T give them a refund. I tell them to take their LIVE PLANT back home, replant it, give it some water and a shot of nutrition and READ A BOOK about the plants they have in their yards that THEY are responsible for.

Of course, I do this in a nice way, but really. Get a clue, LOL!
