These days, simple, quick, and easy just works best.
In this video, I share with you just how easy it really can be. Also, I demonstrate my method and show some results too. Check it out, and realize that anyone can propagate plants and grow food!
VERY, VERY EASY!
HERE IS THE BASIC PROCESS
That handful of sticks is actually a bunch of dormant fig cuttings. Each bump on those sticks is actually a node where growth will come from. If the node is far enough under the soil surface, it'll sprout roots. If the node is just beneath the surface or above the soil, it'll grow leaves. Yup, it is really that simple.
The row running down the center of the photo is a row of fig cuttings that I planted a little while ago. Now, I've finally seen a little growth, so at least some are going to work out!
This little green growth means success. Check out the video for more, but this should provide our family with food for years to come!

Until next time…

very interesting and educational papa-pepper, I can see how growing these little fig trees can be good money, are you going to keep any of them for yourself? I've always heard that the fig trees can be huge in size. I assume propagate means the same as the word "plant."
what were you in your former life, a horticulturist?
great strategy, great post, great video, great photos, oh jeez what else? great hair!
LOL! You know, they do grow well in Texas...
we actually have that on our list to plant!
God bless you papa-pepper!
Are you on a private chat like https://steem.chat ?
If you are and want to get me a mailing address, I could ship some out for free onTuesday...
thanks so much papa-pepper that means alot but we are in the early planning stages for what and where we want to plant so it'll be a year or so before we're ready, got alot of debris, bushes and shrubs to clear out first.
much appreciated though!
If you don’t get harsh winters fig trees will grow great. They like the heat and not too much water, rocky soil.
thanks for the information @hrissm. well we have the heat and not too much water but the soil in our area is a black clay type so that may not be ideal.
You're welcome!
Wow
Well-done sir
It's been a while
I've been away trying to sort our issues related to serving my fatherland. Reading another post from my favorite homesteader is a good way to start the day.
Nice post
Lovely pictures and video for proof.
Good cultivation .. Yes ... for the next months there will be food.
So easy! Thanks for sharing... @papa-pepper
Hey Papa,
I was wondering if this works on any other fruit or nut trees or if it only works on Figs?
A few others are also this easy, like Mulberry trees, but many require a lot more work.
Beautiful pics mate!!!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Oh my. Figs and honey!
Tasty stuff!
Damn!the method looks amazing.
I am gonna show this to my father.
Thank you for sharing your years of accumulated knowledge with us.
☺ Happy steeming ☺

Useful activities
Homesteading! The best! I like what you are doing... (^^)
But I hate the taste of FIGS... (^^)
How I love to see people planting or gardening! Good job papa-pepper! I hope you post those plants when they grow up :)
good picture and very fertile, compact family activities, thanks for sharing @papa-pepper😊
Thank you for checking it out!
Very good, successful for you mate.
That's cool, man. I like the renewable aspect of it. And figs are delicious, so you can't go wrong there. It's nice that they'll keep coming back and that you'll have some that you can sell. Money for nothing (except time and effort). :)
I'm actually surprised figs grow there. I feel like you are seriously going to have so much food from your land that Steem Fest 7 will be held there and you will be able to feed everyone. LOL
We have fig trees in nyc area and need to cover them (alternatively bring inside) in the winter otherwise they die and typically don’t bear fruit until the following year and of properly protected from the cold the following winter.
Do you currently have fig trees that you harvest? What’s the winter like over there?
Great and informative post @papa-pepper ! I wonder they would grow up here in Canada!? thanks for sharing I am always looking for new things To eventually plant on my @karenmckersie country property , I will finally be moving to I hope in September! Upped and resteemed! 👍🌱🌱🌱
First of all, your beard is epic and I heavily envy you because I couldn't grow one like that, ever.
I am heavily looking forward to that Dragon Fruit post. Only eating one of them once, but it was delicious.
Figs, honey and goats cheese! Yum! You'll have plenty of figs to eat, preserve and sell if all those cuttings produce. Having a nursery for a side income is not a bad idea. It is something that the @little-peppers could do without a lot of supervision as they get older...
