Comments (24)We just got rid of a raccoon after 3 weeks pilfering my garden and tearing up neighbor's roof looking for larvae from hornet's nests. Borrowed my brother's trap and it took 3 weeks before it finally went in the trap.....My son relocated it to another area quite a ways away near a river and orchard.....I guess they are all over our town now.....This is something new....didn't used to be raccoons anywhere right in town!! I first noticed that all our water bowls I have out for my bees and cats were tipped over and those that weren't were muddy with partial strawberries/blueberries, onions, garlic and you name it!!! I had a feeling it was a raccoon because we had problems with them when we lived in Oregon. I stayed up late enough one night to take a video of it on our porch!!...See MoreBest indoor fig variety?
Comments (4)Sarah did mention she cannot plant them but didn't clarify whether she has private outdoor space somewhere, like a balcony or accessible roof. So it may still be possible for her to expose the fig to direct sunlight. The same could be said for people who cannot plant figs in ground in the colder zones. We're not usually discouraged from trying if it is something we're willing to do. I say go for it if you are interested in growing something by your own hands. As long as you do a lot of research to be sure you are making the most of your environment. I suggested certain varieties that match the indoor/dwarf characteristic but as Pino said.. there's still a possibility they may not have great flavor even if they produce well. However, you can still have an attractive tree even if the figs don't end up tasting very good. The attractiveness is subjective and all in the shape of the canopy or leaves. For me, I usually find fig leaves very attractive. I can spot fig trees in front yards from very far and some look so nice from the care they put into shaping it too. You probably won't be happy having a fig tree if you don't like the way fig leaves look since there is also the chance of it producing blander tasting figs :(...See Moregreendesert
