There is a free fig growing/pruning class at Sky Nursery in Seattle.  I am not familiar with the speaker, but it would be interesting to hear her experience.  

Here is the information of the event:

Hey Scott, you should go and update us on what learn. Tomorrow at that time I have meeting with my P Patch coordinator, so I cannot go.   I wish I could.

Scott,

Hildegard is a friend of mine.  If the venue is suited to projection, she will show the Fig half of a Kiwi/Fig Powerpoint presentation that I developed.  We often team up and do the presentation together.  She approaches it with the enthusiasm of a home gardener while I provide the technical information.  I won't be attending this one.

Have fun if you decide to attend the Event.

Dangit. We're going to be looking at a house at 10 tomorrow. I don't think I will make it in time. If I have a prayer of being there by 11:30 I will try.

We didn't get back till noon so I missed it. How was it?

We did not make it.  However, I found some information provided by the Plant Amnesty: http://www.plantamnesty.org/documents/pruningLit/figs.pdf
