You are more than welcome, Jodi...   

  Your 'Pride-of-Parenthood' over the BT cutting got me wondering though...  would you prefer receiving a cutting to raise from scratch, or a plant from those that I'm rooting?

  Blue

Funny u ask this right at this moment Blue. I'm at the hospital my friend had two boyz at 7:00pm! And I'm tired. Would love to have one that you rooted! This birthing is tedious! ;-). ;-)

Jodi,
No ripe figs :-(  Had to have it with sauce, mushrooms, and mozzarella.  The old stand-by.  Merry Christmas everyone!

Jodi, correct me if I'm wrong but we don't really know for sure what this is, right?  It could be a standard BT that gets enough heat to taste great, it could be a California or English BT, or it could even be a Vern's BT, right?  Jon has one called BT that was so good he renamed it Maryland Berry.  And it's even possible it was called a Brown Turkey but is really something else, right?

Whatever it's called it tastes great and that's all that really matters.  Whether it's great in your area you'll have to find out by growing it.  The standard BT and Vern's BT do well in the SE.  Vern's BT does well in the PNW, also.

This post has a lot of intertwined threads and I apologize for perpetuating... but...

I found a jar of Fig preserves when doing Christmas party shopping at Costco.  Also found Gorgonzola, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and Pecorino.  Here is my Christmas Eve fig pizza.  I thought the preserves had too much sugar and too few figs, but everyone else loved the contrasting sweetness and pungency from the cheeses.

Looking forward to next year when the figs come from my own plants and not Costco.

 

Hey Aporto love the twisted threads, reminds me of an old knarled fig tree! And your pizza looks grand. I am such a fan of fruit n cheese, where ever it shows up. And I'm counting the days till we get to have fresh figs around here too. Does staring at cuttings help them grow? ;-)

Well, Jodi, mine should be good sized trees by now if staring at them worked! But maybe we could try singing, or at least talking to them- that might really inspire fast growth :)

How are your figlet/s coming along? I have a couple that i'm working to root in water, and more in the sphagnum moss. Several are now potted in double plastic cups- w/ one over the top for humidity. As they are going to be needing extra light, I have to get a clip on shop lamp with grow bulb this week. These little fig plants are a Lot of work, but seeing them as healthy trees and tasting that first fruit will be well worth it!
Happy growing, LJ

Hey LJ Figgy.  This lil figlet of mine has really been working overtime.  She is a butte.   Her sisters started on the same day (11-11) are just leafing out.  Go figure.  And yes I do sing and talk to them.  This lil figgy sits by me as I teach my online classes.  Very cool company.  I have a couple of dozen cuttings from members starting in various mediums.  Hoping for happy, vigorous figlets.  Blessings of vigorous, healthy, happy figlets to you too.  Jodi   

Oh thank you Blue.  We also lost our old, best labrador dog yesterday.  In less than one week twins born and the ol faithful dog gone.  Wow life is so full of happenings and changes. I was overwhelmed with the birthing of twins.  I so honor those who assist our comings and going in this world.  Thank you for your kind words and your work Blue.  Blessings to your new nephew and his mum, Jodi

Hey LJ.  Miss Figgy was started straight into a trade gallon (3/4) recycled nursery pot in a mix of organic potting soil and vermiculite.  I kept a plastic bag over it off and on in a sunny south window.  I started 12 cuttings on 11/11 and this one is the farthest along, 4 others are putting on leaves now, 4 seem to be duds.  It is so interesting which ones take off and which struggle or do nothing.  I am starting a bazillion cuttings. Can't wait to see all the grownup fig trees they will become.  Happy figging in 2016.  Jodi

Miss Figgy is obviously thriving~ and thanks for sharing your growing secrets!...
I'm probably going to stick some of mine showing signs of rooting directly into gallon planters, bypassing the smaller drinking glasses. But i'll have to head over to Walmart or Lowes to get a couple later this week, unless I can turn up some in the basement here.

Btw, you may be interested in this info for a later time...
For my goji berry bushes which need to be in containers for now (as i'm hoping to move soon), I bought four inexpensive kitchen trash containers in inconspicuous bronze brown color, and drilled drainage holes in their bases. These have a nice shape for planters, with ridges around the top edge which makes them easy to move. And although I don't care for plastic, they'll last a long time. In addition, very large planters would have cost me a whole lot more than these did at under $4 each. I'm probably going to use more of them for planting potatoes in a few months, and will also drill some holes down the sides for additional ventilation.
Happy 2016 figging for you too, Jodi :)

Hey Jodi,
What are you currently feeding your little fig?

Jodi, congrats on your new figgy!! Nice looking! So much fun!! And figgy pizza in an outdoor over sounds absolutely wonderful!

Aporto, love your pizza pic. Now I want pizza too when I shoukd be having breakfast. I must say that this forum always makes my mouth water.
