Bills Figs 2017

Just received the dates for bills figs for 2017 and his first session will be Saturday April 15 at 2 PM "Bringing Fig Trees out of Storage" with other dates Thursday May 11 at 6PM. There is no charge and open to everyone.  Bills address is 326 Old York Road, Flemington,N.J. 08822    Phone #908-806-4887.

Once again I have something planned already!

I typically wind up going to Bill's on a random Tuesday off from work during growing season at about 10:48am.

I'm thinking it would be great if a nice soul would videotape the sessions and put them up on YouTube where we all could see them.  Hint, hint.  Nudge, nudge.  ;-)

What exactly is this?  Is it a seminar of some kind?  I'm fairly certain I've seen his figs on youtube and they look great.  

I thought it was some kind of presentation on fig growing.

Exactly. Bill has presentations at different times of year for bringing trees out of storage, as well as (I think) pruning and getting ready for winter storage. Free admission, but you can also buy trees, his homemade pots, and maybe growing mix. There is also a poetry reading (open mic?) typically in the beginning of September.

Bill is a cool guy. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and fair. One year when I first started growing I asked him a question about why my trees may have died and he offered advice and an invite to pick out new trees for free.

Read: I killed the trees with poor care, but that wasn't an issue, hence being fair.

Bill is a great guy. Very knowledgeable. If you've never been, I suggest taking a trip if you can.
