Wish list:  Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. 
Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

Great offer, just wished I lived a little closer.

There is a fig farm in VT somewhere, maybe they can take some off your hands?

Oh man, I wish I lived closer to you. I would have taken you up on your offer. I live in Upstate NY but it's 3 hours away.

3 hours?  Why, that's just a hop, skip and a jump. :)  I'm in the Ozarks where everything is a good 2+ hours away...just going to a mid-size town is a day-long road trip. Northeast Kingdom is about 20 hours away from me, but Hubby says he's surprised I'm not already loaded up and on my way. I'd really consider it if we weren't in the middle of a heat wave (heat index in excess of 115°F) right now. Alas, there are plants and livestock to water.      

And that's such a generous offer, oldvt. Hopefully someone will be able to take you up on it.
