Welcome!!!

If you stumbled among this site, "Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Garden" is a collection of journal entries that I have kept on my computer for years, and have now decided to post. The journal contains my successes and failures with my favorite selections of plants. I'm talking about more than 50 years of caring for and living with green things. Not everything is here. More of it is learned and store in my head. However, here I will share facts about each plants, my research, as well as my personal and gathered tips on their care. I was not planning to post my houseplant and backyard journals online, so editing them for errors was not a priority to me. This being the case, perhaps, one day I will correct all the spelling and grammar errors in both of them. We would not want people to think I did not know better, when I was only being lazy. Again, no apologizes. It is what it is for now.

How My Garden Grows, or Not, Sic: Journal Entry 05/03/2024

05/03/2024 – On November 28, 2020, I bought a couple of Chicago Edible Figs trees and in December 2022, after being vandalized I propagated my last remaining fig tree when the second one did not survive the attack. Nevertheless, I was able to save two portions and rooted them. It has been nearly 18 months since then, and the two cuttings have grown enough that earlier this year I planted them in a medium size half barrel. There they have grown more and strengthen to look great. However, because I want them to fruit, I added three ‘Jobes Fruit and Citrus’ stakes to the barrel. Previously, I was fed them with regularly Miracle Gro water solution and some all purpose pelletized food. Now they are mature enough to prepare for fruiting, which given the time of the year may occur next year.
