Hi there,
I've not posted for a couple of years, but I have literally just moved into a new house with a large garden (after many years with a tiny courtyard) and I think I'm going to do some proper fruit and veg growing. Which means asking lots of very basic questions.
For starters: I got one of the cheap brown turkey fig trees from the last issue of the magazine. It showed up and seems healthy, but is also fairly tiny - maybe 8 inches tall. Eventually I'd like to find it a permanent home in the garden, but for now I need to get a sense of where the sun shines and what goes where before I plant anything permanently, so I'm going to keep it in a pot till spring. That said, I don't know if I should put it in a large pot straight away and leave it outside or whether I should keep it in its small pot inside. Or something else entirely.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
