I am new to this, thought to say hello to you all! I grow orchids, cacti, and have started a citrus collection. Figure it's time to go down the fig path. I have this obsessive desire to grow as much of my own food as possible. Good to start collecting stuff now while I am young yeah? I probably need to move somewhere a bit warmer though to grow half the stuff would like to haha. Would make things easier. Anywhoo, hello! __________________ Seghen Ohio Zone 6a Loading Doc: Panache, Vista, Aubique Petite, CDG, Takoma Violet Growing: Texas Everbearing, VDB, Desert King, Fico Pesco d'Oro, Unk.
