Every year in the garden I feel like I want to learn something new like a new skill

and your growing technique and this year I think I'm going to focus very heavily on

grafting not tomato grafting and I already talked about that but grafting, not tomato grafting, and I already talked about that, but grafting fruit trees.

I did a little bit of experimenting this year

and actually went really well,

so I'm very excited to try more.

Yeah, you had a good time, I think, with a fig graph, right? So tell the story because you had a fig, sort of like a sloppy old fig.

Yeah, that's one way to put it.

When we got into the house, like there was this giant fig tree on the corner of the property it was like back in the area we never go to it looks cool it's huge it's maybe

Yeah, I might be exaggerating a little bit, but it's big. And it produces figs, but they're not edible. You will look at them,

Yeah, it looks like moldy and disgusting. So apparently the former owner said that it used to

I don't know. But what I do know is that the fig hunter came, he came to visit down here, he brought a bunch of cuttings, he showed us a couple like grafting techniques, and I went home and I just went for it.

I got four branches on that old fig tree, and I just started adding those new cuttings that he brought.

I didn't really think about much of it. I was like these are my first graphs. I don't even know if they're going to work.

But they did. They started growing. I started watching them. They kept growing. They looked

happy, healthy. They doubled in size. And then at the end of summer they actually

bore fruit. I had four figs on each one of the branches and they were by far the best things I've ever had at my own property.

Like they were juicy, they had different colors.
