This is what I call success!
If you really know @papa-pepper, then you know I'm a propagator of plants. There are many reasons that I like this hobby, but more importantly, if you propagate food plants, then you'll get more free food!
Last year, in a plant propagation series that I periodically post in, I share about propagating Fig Trees, which is very easy. While we were waiting to purchase our land and begin planting on it, we were hard at work preparing plants for us to use later on. Recently, we were able to enjoy the first fig off of one of our trees.
OUR FIRST FIG!
JUST A TASTE OF WHAT IS TO COME
As we continue, we will be planting a lot of various food-bearing plants. Figs trees are just one of the many ones that we already have. From the fig trees that I already have, we could produce thousands of more fig trees, which is amazing to me. Each one of them can both produce figs and be used to make more fig trees. The new trees can then be planted, given away, or sold to others.
I think that this fig was not completely ripe yet, but it was tasty and a great foreshadowing of the life ahead of us. Red-Pepper actually spent a bit of time with me last year making and planting fig cuttings, and now she too can taste the fruit of her labor. My @little-peppers can grow up being familiar with skills like this rather than having to learn them at my age. Also, it is my hope that all of the hard work we put in now will be there for years to come!
This was a very happy moment for us to celebrate, and a true testimony to the possibility of having fresh, healthy, free food. We got the fig cuttings for free, so this fruit cost us nothing. We planted and watered, so we did invest some time and effort, but I think that we are already getting a great return on that investment!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
