After killing all my figs during an early (to me at least <g>) snowstorm 2 years ago, I'm getting everything started again.

This has been tougher than in the past when UCDavis simply shipped everything I could ever want (or pay FedEx for).  This year I made a bunch of purches and got a few gifts from members on this site.  At least one cutting of each type purchased or gifted rooted; some had multiples and some had almost all which took (Desert King as an example).

Below is a picture of the first 5 which have made it into 5 gallon pots.  From left to right the varieties are:

VdB, Rob's Genovese Nero, MBVS (in a homemade SIP), RdB and LSU Purple.

I have 5 more 5 gallon buckets that need a coat of white paint and a bunch more I need to acquire to pot up all/most of the varieties in the Big Gulp cups.

Several people have asked for some of the extras, and I'll be getting to them shortly.

The garden (behind/around the figs) gets cleaned up next weekend.  Today was the first day in two weeks without rain.
