I wanted to send a thank you and status update to those who were kind enough to send me cuttings my first year growing figs. The majority of cuttings that I acquired were from generous forum members who only charged shipping. One member even sent me my first batch of cuttings free (he asked to remain nameless but I only sourced the ischia green from you and I can always say that's where my love for growing figs started) So thank you Vince, Frank, Gloria, Grasa, Jim, and Phil! Call it beginers luck but I was able to successfully root every variety that was sent my way. So if you sent me cuttings they are alive and well! So well in fact I have began the up-potting and shuffling outside. I have also rooted duplicates and gave those to coworkers, family, friends, and neighbors telling the story of each person who gave the original cuttings, where they live now, and how i acquired them such as the christmas photo contest or in the case of Dominick's fig I actually printed the story, laminated it and gave that as well. Also thank you to folks like Rafed, Pete, and others who always chime in on my new guy questions. I attribute all of my success to those who helped teach me tips and tricks.
I posted a couple pics. The top picture figs still need transitioned outside. The bottom figs are already out but some may need bigger pots! Thanks again!
