Flowers on a fig?

[woofgang]

I have a nice brown Turkey fig tree in a pot. I get about six figs a year and very nice they are too. BUT I have never seen any flowers on my fig tree, just suddenly tiny figs appear. So...do figs flower and if so when and what do the flowers look like? and if figs don't flower, where do the tiny figs come from??

Wasn't laughing at your septic tank woofy. It was Robinias strangers that tickled me...

Back from vets - there goes another �60.00. My lovely almos blind, epileptic ginger cat has now got suspected diabetes. He is 13 and is the happiest little cat you can imagine in spite of all his problems (blind and epileptic since birth). Now is looks as if he will have to have injections every day. MrG has to get a urine sample from the cat in the morning mid-stream (of course, with my bad back I couldn't possibly do it!!!!!!!)

Went to see the dishy doc this morning, and felt instantly much better although my BP has gone up again (go away JG). He says being in constant pain causes BP to go up, but I think it was his proximity to me that actually caused it!!! Phoooorrrrr..............

Work beckons..........................

Have really had a good laugh reading all your threads and seeing all the pictures.

This is a present from me to all of you for just being you...........................

enjoy!

[Jude123]

Please leave me a clue when you go. I'm going to a quiz night tonight and when I come in you could all have gone.I wont be able to help with the move but I'll do some cleaning when we get there ok? :o)

[gessoo]

Yes, please come to my place. It's a great piece of land with plenty of room for the Vinnybego, the donkey cart, all of jno's autos, the new loo, etc. We should be able to get all our possessions in the Vinnybago, 'cos I have purchased this for it:

You will have to pick it up though Robbie seeing as it comes from Derby Caravan Centre.

There is also one of these on the land for the donkey (and Vinny when he has had a few too many!! (Becks and brussells))

For the donkey

[Robinia]

Thanks gessoo looks just the ticket - we'll soon have it looking erm, homely hehe. I don't think we need to worry about moving spot on 500 posts - I'm sure a few over the odds if necessary won't matter....... I'll start gathering up me surgical stockings that are draped over the towel rail......whose are these frilly bloomers??

[gessoo]

They're Vinny's. A closely guarded secret!!!!!

[jno]

need a hand loading the caravan?

[netibiza]

Hi all, the weather is so bad that the leccy keeps banging off so cannot use computer. Daughter's flight is due in an hour so hopefully it'll not be delayed until tomorrow as the weather here is so bad. Another sh1tty day in paradise. I'll come on again when weather is more clement as am turning the whole thing off now until tomorrow, hopefully it'll be sunny and no wind.

Nitey nite all my my old biddies.

[jno]

neti I'm sending a friend over with some spare electricity. I'm not sure where he has the other end of that cord plugged.

[dotjhawkes]

Can I hide in here cos the baddies are after me just cos I was enjoying the laugh!

[jno]

certainly dot, we're just about to bring in the haggis harvest, so please grab a spade.

Morning all
Hope everyone is O.K on this dull dreary cold morning here in Norfolk.
Sorry to hear about your little cat Gessoo.I hope he will be O.K.
Are you alright over there Neti or shall I nip over with a large brolly and a sou'wester.We haven't had any rain here for ages..at least a couple of weeks.
Is it moving day again soon?
I don't know ..you get all settled in and then have to up sticks.
This isn't doing my corns any good ,all this hiking around.
Well..I had better go and get ready before Robinia catches me in my dressing gown.
Have a good day one and all.

[netibiza]

morning all - probably won't manage to be in here much again today as the weather is still foul and as soon as it pours really hard, they turn the leccy off, and everything takes so long to reboot that its gone off again. Thanks jno for that leccy fella, seems a nice fellow, if I can't have Barry manilow then I'll have him. Daughter eventually got home, flight delayed. Will nip`back later if I can.

[shaneystar2]

Oh dear poor Neti. I think we had better load up the Figgiebego with candles,blankets ,tins of soup and hot water bottles and head off to rescue her.
Here we come with Vinny at the wheel !

Good morning Biddouins - hehe love that name. It's not actually good at all - very cold and miserable again but thankfully not wet like poor neti....

Are we all packed up then?.....I've done a few dripping sarnies to give us an energy boost. I've got to go out into the real world today but I'll be able to catch up on my bike - I can follow the furrows made by the Vinnebago......oh no, looks like Vinny's been on the becks

where did they go?

hahaha shaneystar - public transport is still like that here - all or nothing.
