What has Bill been up to?

Moved from100 acres in Tennessee to 0.6 acres waterfront in Destin, Fl area. Actually in Niceville, Fl across the bay from Destin. I am in a much more favorable climate but I have much less space.
To my wife's dismay, I still have have a decent fig list of in ground trees now. No space left for more trees, but I will be happy to supply cuttings in the fall.
Video tour to follow:

Current list:
White Greek, Vista, Smith, Preto, CDDB, CDDG, CDDN, Improved Celeste, Stella, Kathleen Black, Aubique Petite, Battaglia Green, Genovese Nero, Martinenca Rimada,Galicia Negra, Pesca D'Oro, Brogiotto Bianco, RDB.

Also have mandarins, kumquats, loquat, cattley guava

Best,
Bill

Beautiful! I live in California now but was raised in Clearwater, FL. I miss the gulf coast. Any issues with nematodes?

I grew up in Clearwater as well - went to Belcher Elementary and Pinellas Park High School.  That seems so long ago that I think zip codes only had 4 digits.

Where are you in CA?  When were you in Clearwater?


And Bill, that is an envy-inducing photo!

Congratulations, Bill.  Enjoy the new zone!

Neighborhood figs grow like weeds around here, all Celeste, brown turkey and green ischia. Doubt a nematode problem here

Forgot to include Maltese beauty and Adriatic JH

Congrats Bill.  Is that a retirement move, or a career move?
And you need more space for figs!!!!

Wanted to move here for retirement, but I found a great job here before retirement.
Thanks,
Eric

Congratulations on the new job and better weather.  Now all you have to do is scare your neighbors off and buy their land.
