Can you give me a recommendation? After having hopelessly devoted ourselves to kiwi cultivation for 7 years, they are being removed. From when can figs be expected to bear fruit? Do you need male and female plants?

… From when can figs with fruits be expected? Do you need male and female ones?

Male and female flowers are needed here. However, pollination apparently works differently here through a specific species of wasp. The trees would not bear fruit in Germany.

I did a bit more planting in the garden on Sunday. The plants had already been in pots for a few weeks, the butterfly lilac was already drooping badly. Today I think it's doing better again.


Before - After: Our mini-bed in front of the house, once on May 9th (after planting), and once on August 15th. :)



The things have now all moved into the bed. Freshly planted on the left, the two pictures on the right already a bit recovered, 2 days later.


Another before-after. The rose standard is really a jackpot. I was afraid at first it wouldn’t get enough sun there but it has actually been blooming for months since I planted it there. Dreamy.

We have new visitors.



Looks like a stinkhorn to me.
They’re probably not easy to get rid of.
Stupid or stupid or somehow manageable?
