I took a few pics since the rain has been relentless all day. We have had over 3.5 inches so far today and much more to come. These are pics of most of the 135 pots. I still have some one gal babies not out in the sun yet, if we had any sun. LOL Thanks for lookiing. My RDB in the front of this island with the seven foot tall Celeste with hundreds of green figs enjoying the rain. I could have been "Drivewayfarmer" but it was already taken. Maybe "Walkwayfarmer". This is pic of many of my one to five gal plants. More one gal pots around the yard. More one gal pots in driveway and walkway. Mostly five to fifteen gal pots on the South side of the house.

Thanks everyone. Martin, I hope to have many of the keepers (black figs) in the ground by then. Trying to determine which ones will be cold hardy for my area. Will keep some in pots, give some away and some to the burn barrel.

Great pictures, I like the look and use of the pine needle mulch!

Mike, I think you did a great job of mixing the fig pots in to the landscape.

WOW!! Your arrangement is perfectly gorgeous! This is an inspiration for me to see, how well managed potted figs look so great! ...But did I see "BURN PILE" Noooo please, please let me know before you do the unthinkable. :-) Soni __________________ Soni GA. 7-8. seeking Galicia Negra, Bianchi Guido, Violette de Sollies, Emerald Strawberry

Mike that is a beautiful yard. On my best day my yard has never looked that good. And those are some great looking figs too. Since they are in pots how are you testing for cold hardiness. I am just wondering as I need to do the same with some of my cuttings I have growing now. thanks goss __________________ goss North Ga. zone 7

Mike, do I understand correctly that your 5-15 gallon pots on the south side buried and covered in mulch? That's a lot of digging! But it does look great. Any comments from the neighbors like "what are you going to do with all those figs?". I've heard that once or twice. __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

Mike, So organized, but I hope you have them weighted down they may float away. Hopefully upstream north. __________________ Phil N.GA. Zone 7 Looking for: De La Reina, Del La Senyora, Martinenca Rimada, Parfum De Cafards, Ponte Tresa, Sangue Dulce, Emalyn's Purple, and on and on

Beautiful job Mike. A real pleasure to see what you've done there. Maybe I'd better give up the drivewayfarmer name ! __________________ Kerry Zone 5 NH Wish list :Galicia Negra , Col de Dame Blanca/Negra .

Thanks again to everyone for all your very nice comments. Rafed, I do have quiet a few green/yellow fig varieties. I was gigging Martin a little. Goss, I am not personally testing for cold hardiness, except my Celeste which passes with flying colors. I have been keeping notes on all the ones the folks up north have been saying have done well in ground with or without protection. Rewton, that is correct. Those on the south side and many others that I did not take pics of. All total there are 40 in pots that are buried from five to twenty gal pots and mulched with pine straw. Oh yea, that was a whole bunch of digging. Also had many comments about all those figs. Especially from my wife. Kerry, LOL. You had the name first so I will stick with "newnandawg." It best describes me anyway if you know what I mean. "Go Dawgs, Sic Em."
