I like your little friend! I've got four fig trees and two tomato plants that need planting. I am trying out those planters where the tomato plant is upside down. So far, I'm not impressed as the two plants I did get planted are getting beat up by the wind. My biggest wish in gardening life is to get a fig tree to make it. I love figs and paying $7.00 pound for black mission figs at the grocery store is pricey. So far, I've not had much luck, but am trying again! I am successful with my herb garden, good thing herbs are like weeds and do better with neglect.
