Got 2 little figgies here. Dave and Brandi's is doing great. We re-potted almost 2 weeks ago and it seems very happy. Mom and my little figgie is crying all the way home. It still has 2 green buds, but is not doing anything. Guess it is just mostly dead. Any suggestions other than going thru it's pockets for loose change?

Bring out your dead!
ReplyDeleteA man comes out with a dead-looking old man in a nightshirst slung over his
shoulder. He starts to put the old man on the cart.
Man: Here's one-
Cart-master: Ninepence.
Old Man: (feebly) I'm not dead!
Cart-master: (suprised) What?
Man: Nothing! Here's your ninepence....
Old Man: I'm not dead!
Cart-master: 'Ere! 'E says 'e's not dead!
Man: Yes he is.
Old Man: I'm not!
Cart-master: 'E isn't?
Man: Well... he will be soon-- he's very ill...
Old Man: I'm getting better!
Man: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
Cart-master: I can't take 'im like that! It's against regulations!
Old Man: I don't want to go on the cart....
Man: Oh, don't be such a baby.
Cart-master: I can't take 'im....
Old Man: I feel fine!
Man: Well, do us a favor...
Cart-master: I can't!
Man: Can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long...
Cart-master: No, gotta get to Robinson's, they lost nine today.
Man: Well, when's your next round?
Cart-master: Thursday.
Old Man: I think I'll go for a walk....
Man: You're not fooling anyone, you know--
(to Cart-master) Look, isn't there something you can do...?
(they both look around)
Old Man: I feel happy! I feel happy!
(the Cart-master deals the old man a swift blow to the head with his wooden
spoon. The old man goes limp.)
Man: (throwing the old man onto the cart) Ah. thanks very much.
Cart-master: Not at all. See you on Thursday!
Man: Right! All right....
Actually, there is no need to go through any clothes and look for loose change!
ReplyDeleteThe buds are green and they look healthy. It is just taking awhile to wake up and start pushing.
But I am going to send you another one (probably in the next 2 weeks), just so you have two actively pushing figs. You can save the slow fig as a backup :) And chances are you will have two fig trees instead of one!
And if that is the case, I will send you some budwood from a different variety and we can graft it on so that you will have two different fig trees :)
