I moved my little figs to 3-gal containers

But from what I hear that stuff is supposed to not be able to get flooded very easy. 

I'm not using the gritty mix (equal parts bark, turface and crushed
granite); I'm using the 5-1-1 mix (5 parts bark, 1 part perlite and
1 part sphagnum moss).  My understanding is that the 5-1-1 mix
is supposed to retain moisture a bit longer than the gritty mix?  I
have had containers before that wanted water twice (or more) per
day in the summer- and it doesn't even get dry here.  Our summers
are hot & humid.  Not sure how that water evaporated- but in any
case, that is why I chose the 5-1-1 mix- solely on the claim that it
should retain a little moisture.  I hope I didn't make a mistake!

And thanks Guys & Gals for not giving who it is away!

Now to Noss, I intend to answer your "where is fig paradise? right now.

That would be most of California!

That little mighty Handsome youngster being held by his Dad is none other than Jon Verdick/Owner/Moderator of this very great Forum(in San Diego)

He wasn't a newbie very long huh!


Of course it's Jon!!  I could tell the little guy
was scouting out a spot to plant some figs. 
Thank you Jon for providing this very inform-
ative (and fun!) forum for all of us!  ♥
