Fruit Talk‪!‬ ross raddi

Due to getting covid, spring has been delayed! Usually it's the weather in April, but not this time...  Join me on this episode of Fruit Talk! where I explain how the orchard is waking up, things to watch out for, the troubles with the garden & an update on the fig trees progress under the low tunnels.

Getting your garden and orchard in order is a process that starts 2-3 months prior to when your growing season actually begins. In this episode of Fruit Talk! I will discuss my plans for the next 3 months. We'll cover propagation, grafting, seeding, rooting, planning, and my almost final garden plans.

In this episode of Fruit Talk! I breakdown my reasoning for leaving all of the fig communities, my plan to start my own and a few life lessons. Followed up by the annual fruit and veggie varieties I plan to grow in my garden during 2021.

In this episode of Fruit Talk! I finalize quite a bit we've talked about in prior weeks. Specifically what citrus tree varieties I'll be going with, a much greater insight into my garden plans for 2021 and what my ideas are for better strawberry production and to avoid critter damage.

In this episode of Fruit Talk! I go over my recent successful fruit tree/cutting sales. What worked, what we might do differently next year and what varieties are standards, more experimental or are some of the best and/or tastiest figs I grow. We then transition into talking about how much space I now have on the patio and what other fruiting plants that allows me to grow in containers. Of course citrus comes to mind and we talk about citrus varieties I'm going to try and grow as well as plans for strawberries in a hinged raised bed and my raspberry varieties.

In this episode of fruit talk I'm all over the place. First we start off talking about my super successful bare root fig tree sale. 47 trees sold in 48 hours! Then I touch on the health benefits of cruciferous vegetables and how they're helping me. I talk about why I think growing figs in container is obsolete and lastly what my favorite dried fruits are. A discussion about persimmons, hoshigaki, dates of different types and of course dried figs.
