You will love having figs from a tree that belonged to your grandfather. We have a fig that belonged to Danny's grandfather. It is very special to him. Loved seeing you repot it.
+The Dancing Snail Hi i was truly chuffed to bits to take ownership of it, in fact this tree was my inspiration to go out and buy one just two years ago
Thats so extra special that the fig tree was your Grandfathers, and it will be well loved and cared for by you :-) so wonderful, such a BRILLIANT episode, thanks so much for sharing Brian and sending heaps of love and happy growing from Ireland for a FANTASTIC weekend XXXX
+Desert Plants of Avalon yes its a special plant to me and no doubt i will do by best to keep it going xx thanks for your lovely messages as always :-D
Hello Brian, thankyou for sharing all your tips, advice and information, when I get some pocket money I will definitely spend it on some buckets. Thankyou to everyone at UKHWG. 😆 Happy growing Terry
+Terry King Thanks for watching Terry, we strive to find our community members the best products at the lowest prices...every little saving helps ;-) #ukherewegrow
+Alberta Urban Garden Simple Organic and Sustainable Me too, and my first ever taste of one was from this very tree, so im super happy to be reunited with it again after such a long time
How cool is that to have a memory tree with delicious figs!! I really like those plant cells that unfold. Hope we get some here in the U.S. soon I am sure they would catch on big time.
+Jackie Binkley They are called HAXNICKS DEEP ROOTRAINERS Jackie, you may be able to find them via google, ebay or amazon, glad you enjoyed the episode ;-)
+Gardening at Douentza I was very surprised to discover it still existed to be honest but if you need big buckets or any other products www.oaklandgardens.co.uk is well worth a visit
Brian Bastable I loved this video. Are figs a grandpa thing? I have lovely memories of my grandpa caring for his fig trees in his back yard. It would be cool to get an update on the one in this episode :)
What a great memory to keep going for your grandad! I use 6X but it is the red bag, great when planting the potatoes. Thanks for the tip off with the root trainer deal, mine are 3 years old now and starting to get a bit tired. Any chance of an update with Tony's progress on the tunnel move? All the best mate........Nigel 😄👍🏻
+MuddyBootz Hi Nigel, yes im chuffed to bits that i have it, hopefully i breath new life into the old tree, im sure my grandfather would be smiling!! Tony has suffered with illness lately but is ok now, he has also endured relentless amounts of rain so has not been able to get on his plot for weeks, he will be returning to the channel soon ;-)
Brian great story about your fig tree . I love and collect a lot of fig trees. Wondering if you know what variety it is?.. Not all fig trees in Britain are brown turkeys as most of the garden centres mislabel them.
+Brian Bastable hello, thanks for replying . Yes I live in Sussex, recently growing figs and collecting different varieties has become an obsession for me. It would be much easier to identify the variety once we see the leaves and fruits. NPK 3-1-2 would be the best choice till mid June followed by NPK 1-2-3 IMO. Thanks and looking forward to watch some updates. Cheers
Great video! I am currently experimenting with the possibility of getting the second crop of figs to ripen under cover (Polytunnel) here in West Wales. Fresh figs from the garden in mid-summer are great (Breba crop), It would be even more of an achievement if I could get the heavier second crop of ripe figs (Main crop) to fully ripen by November !
If the figs keeps dropping, you may want to find out what type of fig you have. If it is NOT a common fig type, this is actually because you need a fig wasp. Just food for thought.

Hey Peter. Good evening to you 😉👍
You can get root trainers on Amazon.com in the USA.
+MrVenturadog they are brilliant ;-)

What's up with the blurred out face?
