Invalid excuse. You will need to duplicate your fig order and send me half. Thank you!

Tylt33 wants half, James wants half.
And now you want half.

The answer to your question = minus half.

So this is it I guess, we are down graded to 3rd math question.

Ok,

Math question.

If a chicken and a half
Lays an egg and a half
In a day and a half

How much would a pound of butter weigh?

In other news, we've had about as much rain in the past 3 days as we've had in the prior 12 months.

Woah woah woah. I get .5. James got half of the remaining half, so he gets .25. Harvey gets half of the remaining quarter, so he gets .125.

Preliminary List posted. Final list and instructions for ordering on Monday Night.

Contributing to the Figs 4 Fun Foundation is NOT required, just gives some priority. Amounts over the $20 are definitely welcome, but do not change the priority. The Foundation is the only way that there will be continuing access to the collection. I can not do this forever.

Shipping only to US addresses.

Payment is not required in advance.

Thanks Jon!

Paul, in previous years the letter designated how many cuttings would be supplied per order and the cost of the bundle.

Paul, they indicate pricing, which is one of the unfinished portions of the list.

Help!  Can anyone post the link to where the list is posted?  I've been checking http://encantofarms.com/Available_Cuttings_2014.html
But that must be the wrong place since there's no update there.

The list is huge! A logistics nightmare for the people managing this inventory of figs. There are so many varieties that I have no idea what they are. I'm new at this. My challenge is how to choose cold hardy varieties.

If there are multiple numbers with the same name and you order one of the numbers will Jon substitute with another if that one runs out, or should we order all of them?

IMO,

I don't see any changes to the numbers or letters associated with the names.

I say go ahead and get your lists together and make sure you are in order and once the actual list is posted then go ahead and email him. Or at least do the final touch up then.

It's off to the races when that list is posted folks.
You snooze you lose.

GM is the name of the source.
If you see a cultivar listed two or three times with each a different two letters following this will indicate that each came from those sources. Like record keeping.

Is "Paradiso Gene" known by any other names?  Or is that just one that's not available.
