Welcome, Gardencrochet, to the forum. Your cuttings look wonderful on Ebay and your pictures of your whole fig collection even better :) Great job !! They look wonderful and happy. You are so blessed to have so much space and land... Ahh... I think I might start roof gardening soon if I do not stop collecting figs any time soon. I keep finding that I am getting very close to running out of any available space (and resources too ! It is a very expensive hobby and it is a blessing to be able to sell some cuttings on Ebay to re-cover at least some of the expenses :)) I planted figs as a living fence all around our front yard ( yay, no HOA here so I am free to plant as I wish :)) , my side yard, my backyard and they are taking over ... but I really like them !! And everytime a new fig variety appears and it is descibed as a great tasting one... I got to have it... This fig collecting virus is very contageous and really does not want to go away yet... I am trilled to taste different varieties with my kids and explain them where those figs came from originally and share even some of the stories that come with them... My fig trees mostly grow in the ground and only couple in the pots. I will post some new pictures at some point too (when my camera works well :). My garden looks like " my dream in progress" and is still very much for me an unfinished project. A lot of my figs are very young but I have big hopes for them :) I want my "dream garden" to look great for the pictures and all in order... but it is only a dream for right now. So this is what I have from older pictures and you might not see figs well since they are either behind the flowers or I was mostly trying to make pictures of my kids and roses :) I will show you all my fig collection soon, It is a promise :) First picture is my first fig ever : Black Jack fruit that is still ripening to it's full potential
Here is my helper helping me plant one of those " just one more variety " trees in a special gardening hat that she adorned herself .
Enjoy your figs everyone and have very Happy Holidays :)
