Here are some pictures of my little fig nursery. I have them in four stages. Stage one is in the moss, Stage two, is the East window just potted, Stage three is in the South window were they get more sun. Stage four is the south window also, these are the big boys. I have them in my lazy way of watering. I have to water ALL these pots a lot. This little fig nursery is in my family room were my wood stove runs 24/7. Average temps at night are around 65-68 and 72-83 during the day. Wife said is was ok to use south windows in the kitchen next :) . I have a lot of cutting going in the moss making roots. One tree even has a fig. I know these trees are going to need a lot harding off in the spring, but I'm having fun now.

Nothing like having your figs staring out the window laughing at the snow!!! __________________ Mario zone 6a Willowick,Oh

Some of those figs are going to grow up thinking they are grapes. __________________ Tom Massachusetts Zone 6b

need a double decker window. I made a shelf at the split of the two windows, so I can fully use all the light, since I only have one window __________________ Grasa Seattle, WA

This is a problem I can very much sympathize about as in my house you can't get anywhere near a southern facing window. The plants haven't taken over --yet -- but they have the front row seats to this weekend's snow. __________________ Michael in Virginia (zone 7a) Wish list: Perretta,

I like the fig photos, but not the snow outside the window. Left that all behind this past May, hopefully forever! __________________ Steve Houston, TX Zone 8b Wish List: Zingarella

I filled up 2 more windows in the kitchen. Someone in the house is not a happy camper, oh well. Attached Images DSCN0189[1].JPG (274.20 KB, 16 views)
