We have big plans for 2023 and it starts with finishing our “new” shed. The foundation, made from 2x8s, was pulled from a backyard renovation in downtown Atlanta. We salvaged the frame and some metal roofing from Savannah. We
bought 2 boxes of staggered shake from Habitat from Humanity Restore for a pretty face, and supported locals for the remainder of the supplies… totaling in under $1000 including gas. We couldn’t have accomplished this much without my parents and our dear friends! Check back soon to see our finished product ;)

Kicking off the new year with our last DIY project of the year! turning a garage into a NYE Celebration! Happy New Year!!

I woke up like this.

Nothing beats the right tool for the job.

These are two figs that are still producing in late October. Pics taken 10.20.2022
Any guesses on the varieties?

Ghada and I trying to ”fig”ure out what types of fig trees we have. These are sample leaves from each tree. We eventually numbered them and separated them into 4 different groups according to similarities in the lead patterns. Some had breba crops, some didn’t. Some came late, some not at all, some were massive, and some were small, dark, and round. Next summer we will get pictures with leaves and fig samples.
Reach out to us if you could shed some light on our orchard and need a stay near Atlanta!
