They stimulate libido…
Improve eyesight, and strengthen bones. And they taste great.
We are talking about figs, the consumption of which significantly improves our health and well-being. Fig trees can reach 30 m in height or, like our today’s superstar, only 90 cm.
Ficus carica Little Miss Figgy
Small target size and frost resistance up to -15ºC, nice, deeply lobed leaves, and tasty, large, and numerous fruits in a beautiful burgundy color make it an ideal plant that combines decorative and utility values. It will please the owners of gardens and terraces, and everyone who dreams of aromatic figs, warm and fragrant with the sun. Like in Greece or Spain.
Speaking of miniatures, let’s remember about the mini kiwi – Actinidia arguta, which is quite a fast-growing vine that is suitable for plantations or hobby cultivation.
They wonderfully overgrow pergolas, garden houses, terraces, creating a quiet, cool corner ideal for hot summer days, and additionally, they provide large amounts of sweet, juicy fruit that we can eat whole, with the skin (as opposed to their large and hairy cousins).
Summer refreshments will also be provided by sweet-sour gooseberry fruits, which can be eaten fresh or in the form of preserves. We have varieties with red fruits (in my opinion, sweeter and more delicate) and green ones (sourer). Gooseberry is not only a tasty addition to summer desserts but also a sophisticated addition to meat dishes.
Raspberries and blackberries do not require special advertising.
May I just mention that the raspberry bush can be a strong (and tasty) color accent in the garden? Provided you choose the Rubus idaeus ‘Groovy’PBR variety, with leaves yellow like an oriole feather. Regardless of the color of the leaves, the fruits are hauntingly juicy and tender.
Oh, almost forgotten! We have two more varieties of strawberries!
