Fig Cuttings

[TorontoJoe]

Some of my focus these days are the introduction of new species to Madeira, hoping to introduce some things that may offer farmers there the potential to increase their income. I have become friends with the director of a fruit research station there. I haven't planted anything on our property in Madeira yet but an irrigation water storage tank is being constructed now and by spring I should be able to plant some things there. When we were there in mid-August none of the figs on our three trees were ripe yet. I may need to try some earlier varieties but hope with some irrigation and fertilization I can get earlier crops on our existing trees.

I look forward to seeing how things come along.

How's your Portuguese coming along?
