This coming week, I’ll be preparing my fig trees for winter, carefully wrapping and insulating them against the cold. To do this, I’ll need plenty of dry material. Along with the beautifully golden straw I recently purchased from a local source, I’ll also use the crisp, dry leaves I gathered from my own backyard.
There are plenty of places to buy straw around Orange County, NY, but I always prefer going to Hoeffner Farms, it’s part of my seasonal ritual and never disappoints.
