Poor Fig Tree

The fig tree that is at the cabin has no leaves sprouting out. It should be full of leaves by now. So we bought a new one to replace it. Melissa and I started to try and dig up this huge fig tree. After a few minutes Melissa picks up this little green thing about six inches long and says, “Well, I just killed what ever this was!” I look and it is a fig sprout. Poor, poor fig tree we did not mean to try and kill  you. The thing is sprouting out from the bottom as hard as it can and we thought it was dead. As we looked there are several shoots growing. So we gently packed the dirt back around it and apologized. We planted the new fig tree on the edge of the fruit garden. So far they both are doing well.
