About the fig tree

I left my original backyard fig tree at my previous house where it's the main attraction in a tiny backyard.
My current fig will be espaliered on a white, sunny stone wall. Training will be a bit tricky since the branches are so angular. I'll do anything for delicious figs—even fight with squirrels. Lately I've seen them beautifully potted as tall standards. That's my next project. Pictures to come.

Beautiful swimmer

This beautiful young swimmer was just a tadpole with a long tail. Then presto! Long legs. These are tiny frogs, maybe an inch and a half but they'll get to be big boys by the end of the summer.

The magnificent Linden tree at Chanticleer

The springtime blooms of this great Linden tree mix fragrance with the adjacent gardenias and make a heady perfume. Friday evening at dusk is the perfect time to enjoy the gardens at Chanticleer in Devon, PA when friends gather in groups for picnics where so many creative seating options can be discovered. Some people sat at this railing to enjoy the panorama beyond. My favorite place is the wonderful stone sofa near the romatic ruin.
