I ran across this video and thought it would be of particular interest to those growing figs in cold weather, although, there's something everyone can learn from: __________________ ============================ [B]Figaro Zone 10b - South Florida[/I] Growing: Black Mission, Strawberry Verte, LSU Hollier, LSU Purple, LSU Scotts Black, Cajun Gold, Panachee, Excel, UCR 291-4, UCR 143-36, Violette de Bordeaux, Ronde de Bordeaux, Calvert, Black Madeira, Col De Dame Blanc Wish List: CdDN, CdDG, Ischia Black, Galicia Negra ============================

The single best lesson from this: ther are a lot of ways to do things, not just one best way. It was a good view, he is a good teacher. __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross. And any cold hardy early fig.

Note: I forgot to mention this when I posted it, but right at (just before) 55 minutes into it, he plugs F4F and says the real experts are here on this forum! ;) __________________ ============================ [B]Figaro Zone 10b - South Florida[/I] Growing: Black Mission, Strawberry Verte, LSU Hollier, LSU Purple, LSU Scotts Black, Cajun Gold, Panachee, Excel, UCR 291-4, UCR 143-36, Violette de Bordeaux, Ronde de Bordeaux, Calvert, Black Madeira, Col De Dame Blanc Wish List: CdDN, CdDG, Ischia Black, Galicia Negra ============================

Great video! Thanks for posting that! Makes my worrying about my zone 6b seem pretty silly. If he can do it anyone can grow figs. __________________ https://www.facebook.com/From-The-Ground-Up-403313193085649/
