One day, there are about seven years old, I moved to Gabriola Island and Vancouver. why? why? I thought when I was a city girl happy, live 24/7 endurance loved the glamor and glamor. Well, I fell in love Gabriola, just skip hop jump Nanaimo, and in fact, if I want to visit Vancouver, it was issuing only a 20-minute drive, or hours on Departure Bay ferry, Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver. So, what the hell? Loved Sechelt Sunshine Coast. Why do not I do not Gabriola? Two oceans, beaches, walks in the park, and the climate suited me best.
Then I discovered that I had a fig tree in my backyard! Never having seen a fig tree, I expected to go in the summer season. Perry was suspended, green and hard and for several weeks the look and feel of this fruit such as figs ripened changed. By decree of the fig gently in its field, cut the cows and voila! Pretty pink, fresh meat open. Divine taste and texture. And that was it; I love my fig tree. Let me give you some details. On Gabriola Island, British Columbia real estate, fig (Ficus Carica) are quite easy to grow. The key to the growth of figs is to choose a variety that ripens well in our area. I have a fig tree in the desert king. Fig trees can last for generations if properly maintained. It is common to find fig trees scattered around Gabriola. One of my neighbors has increased two & lsquo; Brown Turkey & rsquo; Figs his backyard facing south in front of a white wall six meters. I found another at the south end of Gabriola, near Silva Bay, this magnificent specimen there was actually around Cape Horn in Africa a few years ago. Figs grow best and produce the best quality fruit Mediterranean dry and warm temperate others. Fortunately Gabriola enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters with occasional cold slots.
