Growing figs: a garden full of flavour

A fig turns a warm seating area into a harvest spot too. Choose a container, a fan-trained plant or a free-growing bush. Consider daily checks for ripe fruit when making that choice: a small, accessible plant is often more convenient than a large canopy you cannot reach.

A red beefsteak tomato with firm fruits and a relatively steady-growing plant, developed with outdoor growing in mind. For anyone wanting to try beefsteak tomatoes outdoors. The reported resistance concerns late blight specifically and does not replace checks for infection.
