Now here's a funny thing....

You know, sometime you just have to call it a day and turn the page and commence another project.
In the 2 large pots now forlorn and empty, I shall plant my fig tree (in the smaller one - figs love to have their roots confined!) and in the larger one, I'm going to plant a persimmon sapling I have carefully tended now for around 5 years - my mother brought it back from Italy as a small seedling, nestling lovingly in her on-board luggage handbag... and now, it's doing really well, and with any luck, will grow to maturity.
She brought the seedling from my cousin's garden, where she has a persimmon tree that is lush and abundant in its growth, and prolific at fruiting. Now, normally, persimmons are NOT self-pollinating; you apparently need 2 or three, although there are some varieties which carry both male AND male flowers; I shall have to check with my cousin what her situation is.... But frankly, the tree itself is very attractive, and I'm not wholly bothered about fruiting. At the moment....
