The sun came out in the afternoon and I was sick of being inside so I went out to water the veggies and check on their progress.
The fig tree was damaged in the big winds a few months ago and I had been waiting for it to drop its leaves so we could transplant it into the ground
Unfortunately it was very very heavy.
So hubby got his machine to help do the job. As luck would have it. Wonderson was at the workshop servicing his lovely wife’s car. So he helped
First the sling had to be placed around the pot
And then slowly it was lifted into the air
A final bit of help getting all branches over the fence and the job was done
Hubby then trimmed it back and planted it into the ground.
If it lives great. If not. I’ve got a few cuttings that have taken to plant out.
A much better way to move heavy pots don’t you think?
It’s washing day today so I’m off to hang out the bedding.
Enjoy your day
I fancy that way of moving heavy stuff. I'd like to be the operator.
ReplyDeleteI don’t get to play with the equipment. Unfortunately it’s just too hard to get in and out of them these days
DeleteA Very nice job handling the tree. Also, I love your garden space.
ReplyDeleteTime will tell!
ReplyDeleteAll we can do is wait I guess.
DeleteA job well done
ReplyDeleteThank you. It certainly helps to have extra hands and machines
DeleteHow nice to have all that machinery at hand. Fingers crossed for future figs
ReplyDeleteI do like figs but mainly I’m planing on planting a few in a row to give the chickens summer shade and they can clean up the fallen fruit. A win win all round for them
