As mentioned in a post a couple of days ago, we've had a good year for figs here. Apparently, figs were one of the earliest plants cultivated by humans, and examples have been found dating to before 9000 BCE This was significantly before the earliest known domestication of wheat, barley and legumes.

Snap from the garden this morning. We've now filled two 3.6kg tubs with blackberries and one 3.6kg tub with raspberries, and there is enough fruit still growing to double both those numbers. We've decided that we've got to start on the alcohol processing now to free up space so first up will be blackberry wine, brandy, and whiskey, then we'll look for a raspberry wine, then blackberry/raspberry blend. Maybe crumbles. Who knows?
Of course, living on a boat you'll have to give up gardening…

Anyone in the Mastodon #gardening world know of a handy tool that helps determine hours of sunlight based on historical satellite imagery?
I moved to this house in September so while I can take an educated guess on sunlight for spots in spring and summer, I'm hoping I can validate some theories her. There's got to be a tool for this, right??
