Just spent the last 10 minutes watching a woodlouse walk across the garden (I'm easily entertained). It's all relative but the distance it walked was probably the equivalent of me walking to the local corner shop to buy some Curly Wurlys.
The breeze then picked up, the Woodlouse curled into a ball and ended up being blown further away than it started.
I know how David Attenborough feels now in his wildlife documentaries. Should I tell the Impala there's a lion lurking in the undergrowth, should I pick up the Woodlouse & put him back where he had gotten to?
The fig tree has gone bonkers. I cut a load of branches off in the early spring to try to shape it better. It's more like a fan now which is what I was after. And now it is so loaded with fruit. There is probably three times what was on it last year

Figs are delicious. Too bad about what they resemble, tho.

LOL. I can't stand them so they'll all be given away. Most will go next door so Akos can make palinka & I have a few friends at my local who will take them too. At least they won't go to waste

What do they resemble? Are you sure it's not just a figment of your imagination? 😁
Last week I had to hand pick off some little pests from the underside of each individual magnolia leaf, again. Not bad since the first time was probably three months ago. Conservative treatment is working well to manage.
This thing is growing so fast I feel like I need to start thinking more seriously about where to transplant it! I always thought that wrinkle could be decided much later but...
First picture is < two months after the second one.
