Topic: Fig encyclopaedia

[zaz283]

Interested in why figs are great to plant, the history or origins of figs, how to plant, propagate and look after a fig tree? How about the health benefits, harvesting, common problems and finally some fantastic recipes?

I've just added figs to the list of guides on my blog. Click the link to go straight there. If you think I've missed anything out just let me know.

Thanks, John

That was good to read, I took over an allotment which belonged to an Italian family and has two fig trees, got a huge crop last year, delicious!!
