The virtues of newby-ness

After a clicking on a recent thread--and subsequently rubbernecking my way through it a number of times, I realized how happy I am to be a newby. I bought a few HC cuttings off eBay for nearly nothing (from a solid forum member no less). Being a newby, HC was on my mind for a long time, and it happens I couldn't be more thrilled with the quality of the sticks.  
Maybe it's too common to pricey, but it's still a thrilling acquisition for me. It's nice to be thrilled.

I pulled one out and threw it in the bin a couple of weeks ago (the rest are in fridge). As I just started a new job working long hours, I haven't paid much attention to it. The last few days though I could see roots (7+ inches long) trailing through the bin.

Decided it was best to skip the cup and go straight to the pot (didn't Cheech Marin say that once upon a time?). One-Eyed Munkee (who actually got a new button eye this year so the name no longer fits) is stoked too. Had to take a pic before the fig came off.

Many thanks to the seller/member for this mid-winter treat.

Like the fig-muse Munkee.  The budding sticks are nice too. You'll be hooked, just like all of us.  You started with one of the best varieties known.

Good luck with your fig jones.
