Interesting note, a doctor told us figs were great for reproductive health. We were trying to get pregnant for the longest time and getting disappointed but last year around July/August I must ate figs everyday, here's the result! By the time she's 2-3, I'll have all the figs, she could eat!










Thanks to all the generous members. I believe helped bring this little miracle to light!

She looks great - what a beauty.
Tell the wife she's done a great job.
Born of figs, raised on figs, grower of figs, forum queen in 2025.
I hope you eat enough figs this year to give her a brother or sister. 
What mix did you use?
How much perlite?

Howie & wife,

My congrats for a new beautiful healthy baby girl.

... babies are so cute ... (they are more interesting than figs, for sure.)

-------

(2x) Surprise, surprise!
My son & wife just informed us to expect 2 more grand-kids in early 2014!

The first, Micheal; was born very, very late 2012 (very good for tax purposes).
Yesterday, it was such a pleasure to watch him (for the very 1st time),
just "sit-up" and then "crawl" across the room like a running-away little critter..

Yeah, "knock on wood",  God & a his stork will be delivering
to us (fraternal) twins   ... awesome! ...
