Pome for a Fig Tree (6/16/15)
When you were small and potty bound,
I tried to think of where in ground
you might do better, thrive and grow,
and make it through the wind and snow.
Have never yet decided where
although i really, really care,
so I have put you in a pot
that is much bigger than a lot.
Now I see you've grown some buds
that may turn into figs, not duds.
At least there is a teeny chance
unless gets "et" by birds or ants…
I'll water you 'bout every day
while you are in the figgy way.
It's hard to give birth to a fig
that's hanging from your little twig.
*2020, figgy’s in the ground out front. Not enough sun, but we get 4-5 figs a year from it! She’s much happier now, with some black-eyed susans and echinacea nearby.
