If you want to find a cure for a virus to grow better figs not to help man kind.

You might be a fig nut when you give the neighbor a few fig trees and they all die and you take it personally.

Cathy,
What a dumb neighbor. Next time plant it next to your
fence so you can water the poor thing... 

Guilty on most counts!

Here's one more;
.....When you plant a fig tree just outside your bathroom window so that when you go relieve yourself in the morning, you can raise the shade to "check on" your tree!
That's one I'm personally guilty of.

- One just outside my bedroom window as well.
- Not to mention more than one outside the living room window.
- Now I'm wondering where I can add more windows! 
- I make these admissions only among fellow fignuts HeHe ;).

..... Amen. ah....men.

Dan, got to raise the bar a little bit like.........got to have 500 postings to qualify as a junior and 1000 posts to be an associate and 2000 posts to be the SENIOR fignut. ha ha ha.

Record holder is DIESELER. Clap, clap clap.

If you think your soil is too rich, you might be a fignut.

If all you have to do is type "fi" in your address bar to get to the site, you might be a fignut.

Cathy,

I'm guilty of that one. Gave quite a few of my best figs to neighbors who let them all die. The one that really hurt the most and took it personal........I gave my one and only spare Black Celeste to a guy who lives 5 houses down the road. I figured it would still be my spare even if it were in his yard.........yeah right!!

If you add to this thread

Ya, I learned my lesson.  My babies are only going to other fig nuts.

Mine are going to include WRITTEN care instructions.......what is so hard about keeping the ground ALWAYS moist??????

I work on the rergister in the garden center. You would not belive how many people will kill any plant by simply not watering. I guess fast food nation feels like the plants suppost to water themself. Everything should be effort free.

 I'm Guilty waiting to take a plane to go on my honeymoon but I have to check the forum who knows what ill miss LOL

PM920....congrats on your marriage. But who is taking care of your figs??

   You might be a fignut if you plan a major event, like a wedding, based upon the dormancy of your figs.

If you can relate to this scenario:

If you don't notice the smell of your sisters cat spraying your living room because your figs smell the same.

Haha- I don't know what your fig trees smell like, but mine have a fruity smell!

And a few more--You might be a fig nut if:

After each pay check arrives you check the fig variety pages on figs4fun and Trees of Joy.
Or
Your idea of Christmas is a box from Davis, CA.

You are probably a fignut if you can be accurately called a sycophant because of the word's greek translation- One who shows the fig.

Whoo, I can finally say I'm not a fig nut.  I did not know what sycophant was.

Yes, no one wants to be sycophant. Funny how the meanings of words change, it was a bad pun. A sycophage is someone who eats figs, you are probably a fignut if you know that...

Oh, well, maybe it's just a phage I'm going through. (Ba dum-dum.)

The formal terminoligy for a fig nut is a "Figgie" LOL

Three more, all true.

If you have your 12 year old son check the mailbox daily for cuttings you bought... you might be a fignut.

If you have him put them in the fridge and pay him off in aftermarket paintball marker accessories to keep it mums... you might be a fignut.

If you hide potted fig trees on the other side of the house/garage where the spouse seldom passes... you might be a fignut.

ha ha you guys r too creative!!! I love this site!!!
