Drought: all is not lost

Now the weather is almost like Mediterranean, Cold at night and early morning, windy and hot in the afternoon, no rain past 2 months. Grass and my entire newly sprouted seedling are dead. However some potted plants really love it.

Fig update

My figs are growing however different variety has different growth rate. Brown California (seller cannot identify its variety, some people claim it Beall, it is from California and fruit appear purplish brown hence brown California) variety is very vigorous, followed by Turkish fig and white genoa, Black Madeira and berbera are the slowest and the rest is in the middle group. Last weekend  i managed to pot a few varieties of figs. 

To those whom i do not reply to their comment i apologised because i was very busy. Usually my younger brother  or younger sister help me with my blog ( writing post, answering comment etc) but now both have flown the nest . Starting from today i think there will be fewer post. I was asked whether i want to sell my cutting. For now i have few varieties of fig plant (Black Madeira, Black mission, brown California, and celesta) that i grown for my consumption.
