I figured I should eventually introduce myself, haha. I'm a student who can really get into hobbies! I live in SE PA, zone 6B. It was really lucky that I got referred to this site by VS when I got some cuttings from him.
I have some large hardy chicagos in ground. I bought them at Lowe's out of curiosity ~5 years back, and didn't bother doing anything special to them. They flourished and produced quickly; then the polar vortex knocked them down. I had no idea figs died to the ground from cold, since nothing like that happened from the start. Now, I have several 1-2 year old plants in pots, mostly random varieties -- nothing special, and a few I found while walking around various neighborhoods that I'm rooting. We'll see what those are like in a few years. Maybe I will plant more in ground as they grow larger.
I am learning a lot and there is an obvious wealth of information on here that's hard to beat. I've just been lurking around and reading but hope to participate more. Here are some cuttings that have been growing since December. There are many more that are still rooting and others that were transplanted into larger pots. I will likely transplant these into larger pots soon, too. I hope I don't mess up posting the picture.
Other than figs, I can grow aquatic plants and used to be much more active therewith but school, work, and everything else left little time for that. Figs are definitely lower maintenance. I also like to fish, learn new things, and stay active in general.

Sorry for the longwinded first post!
