Are you being hit by the computer curse? I am, big time. A few years back i started to get interested in the computer field.Went to college, took-up Web-design(4 semesters), built websites and web designs etc,then started looking at websites like Gardenweb,Citrusforumup,F4y(Encanto).At 70 i was the oldest student in class, what an experience.

Now to the point, back to growing figs and others i started to get interested at everything that grew because it was all there for the taking,free can believe it.

Free, people given you tree's,sionwood you named it for free.Gues what,now i have so many damn things growing, it is hard to stop. Do you experience the same thing?Last year i offer free fig tree's just to get rid of,no takers, they all had what i had to offer,to the burn pile.Last year i became friends with a member that is growing about a hundred kinds of figs and offered me a lot of different kinds. I took some and he offered me more and i took a few more.

When i had my house built i cleared 2 acres of forest and now it is a forest again.

Yep it kind of grabs ya and won't turn you loose. I'm trying to locate some land to plant my own forest on, but land is scarce here and expensive.

Congrats on the computer courses, who said you can't teach an old dog a new trick. That an accomplishment to be proud of. Sure is better that sitting around the house watching "Wheel Of Fortune" and Judge Judy.

From the song "It Just Won't Quit" by Meatloaf:

Is this a blessing?
Or is this a curse?
Can it get any better?
Can it get any worse?...
... I don't know what it is, but it just won't quit.

Thanks gents ! When i took the computer course,i had a stainedglass restoration,design studio.At that time i had this crazy idea to built a website to sell one piece of stainedglass to a somebody in a foreign country so that i could bragg of beeing seen worldwide. Just one sale,a person in Denmark.A great feeling.That was the finnally, no more glass.This just to justify the course,crazy!

Today i had to digg-up a 10 year old Chicago Hardy fig becuase it was in the way of progress. I need to make room for a "greenhouse" that i am going built the cheap way but hopefully sturdy and efficient(12x16).It never stops!

I broke the tree 4 ways and plant them in different places on the property. Could you believe watering in the midts of winter! Hope i did not kill these guys.

Digging holes in Arkansas is not for the timmed,i mean large holes with a pick.
