Happy Friday Friends! Well, I am trying my best to accept my favorite chair as a substitute for my lovely fig tree but it is not working so great. My mom moved my chair over to where the fig tree used to live. I know that some of you, I won’t mention any names Corlyn, think that I had something to do with the fig tree not feeling well, but that is not true.
I have sent out a message to Joe at FigTrees.net.
I hope Joe can help us get our fig tree back inside for me, but if not, I think Joe will help me decide on which fig tree to bring to our habitat to help me and the fig tree feel better.
In the meantime, Lazy Leopard and I have called in a nature expert for their opinion. Here is a photo during the examination of my fig tree this morning.
I hope we hear back soon!
Are you waiting to hear about something important to you?
Update!
Joe from Figtrees.net just got back to me. Hurrah for Joe!!! He said:
“The fig tree looks like it struggling. Give the tree more phosphorous, less nitrogen. This will make the tree stronger and build up more roots. Then next year you will have nice growth. Give me a call if you have any more questions! :)”
Friends, I know some of you might be thinking that nitrogen is a fancy word for cat pee. But actually the three main ingredients in almost all fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. So even though cat pee also has nitrogen it doesn’t mean that the fig tree’s nitrogen issues were caused by me.
Honest, I was not peeing in the fig tree. I love my fig tree and besides would I like to sleep in the dirt if I were peeing in the dirt?
Where does a cat find this phosphorous?
Oh I’m so glad to hear that Joe was able to get to the bottom of the fig tree dilemma. And I’m relieved that Cardinal Feathersby assisted in the examination in a timely manner.
I was looking for some information on how to plant in my little garden. I do not know why but Bing pulled up your postand I thought it might be worth reading so I decided to read it. I’m glad I did because I can safely say I came away with a new viewpoint. 😀
Hey Gracey,have you given any thought to maybe a different kind of tree? That is if,God forbid,Figgy doesn’t get to come back inside.
Hope,
No, I haven’t. Do you have any suggestions?
Gracey, what wonderful expert friends you have! So bright and cheery … I hope you get good news. My furbabies are both snoozing this morning, leaving all the secretarial stuff for me. So on their behalf, we wish you a very happy and fun Friday! 🙂
Thank you MomFrog! Happy Friday to you!
No new news for us Gracey! I hope your fig feels better soon! Maybe Mom can give you a replacement until figgy feels better????
Judy,
They brought me some new pillows for the sun room. Pillows are not the same as the fig tree.
Looks like your expert is giving a thorough exam! Hopefully you will hear from Joe soon! Love you, Gracey!!!
Hi Janet. Do you think my dad is related to this cardinal? They both have red hair.
Thank you Carol.
I hope Joe will come back with some good news for you Gracey!!! Love and Kisses!!!!!
