The Unveiling - afterwards

After the unveiling of the fig trees, we waited and waited and waited for something to pop up. Nothing came up. I was just about to cut down the dead plants when Gloria mentioned that she saw some new growth at the base of the trees. 

Sure enough the trees were coming out. Now, at this time (6-28), there is significant growth and the plants look very healthy. I don't know if we will get any figs or not but the plants have survived one of the colder winters that we have had in a while. 

I'm not sure that we will do the "mummy" method again or not, but it was fun trying.
