Greetings Fig World!
I am a newcomer to this world, fueled by fond memories of my Great-grandmother's fig preserves. I have spent most of my adult life dreaming of growing my own figs and now I am about to actually do it. I've got 3 fig trees on order from a greenhouse in CT: Black Mission, Ischia, and Chicago Hardy. I'm here so I can learn how to take care of them and see them through the Buffalo winters.
My family runs a roughly 2 acre farm in the middle of the city of Buffalo, so we're not new to growing things in general, but our experience is mostly in vegetables and plants you would expect to find growing in zone 5b.
Cheers!
