Wow. The time has flown by. I didn't realize how long it has been since I was here! If anyone is still checking this thread, here's an update. The fig is doing awesome. Twice it's size now and loaded with fruit. The crepe/crape myrtle is doing "well" but not awesome.
He who plants the seed beneath the sod and waits until it pushes through the clod, he trusts in God.
