Crazy stuff there Harvey!  I have realized that after many figgy dreams I definitely am obsessing. Also, the need the check on them in the garage, to grow cuttings in the winter and to have your friends and work colleagues call you "the fig man" does not help the cause.

I've been called 'The Blueberry Lady' by a neighbor down the hill, lol. 

Thankfully never The FigHag.  Ack.

I'm not a big drinker... However, a couple days ago I was really bummed, went out and bought a bottle of a local chardonnay, split it with my housemate.

reason:  missed a shot at some panache cuttings for my rainbow-black mission espalier.

new it was stupid at the time
still I went n bought the wine
cuz would'a looked so fine
sweet figs all in a line

I rest my case...

" ...revenge of the circumstance i propagate ten more" Elin

I agree it's healthier and far more satisfying.

And: 

I like the way you say that.

I had a dream, also at Harvey's place, even though I have never been there.

I dreamt that I flew to California for Harvey's fig tasting. Afterwards he pulls me off to the side and says I want to show you something..

We walk to the edge of his fig orchard, he knelled down next to a fig tree and reaches into the foliage.. He then pulled out a huge bright orange fig, my jaw drops...

He then proceeded to cut it in half, it was a dark purple and packed with syrup! He handed me half and I tasted it, it was even better than Preto and had a distinct grape aftertaste..

I then started to think about what I would have to do to acquire cuttings of this magnificent giant orange, grape flavored fig!

I knew I did not have any varieties to trade that he didn't have. I then starting running numbers in my head of what price I should offer.

I was just about to seal the deal and I woke up...

P.S. Harvey: If you do come across such a fig. I would appreciate if I was the first to know..

Wow. That a fig dream. Lol. I ciuld picture the whole story.

I was thinking maybe a bright fire engine red fig with a deep dark purple innards. Yum!  Slurp!

Wow, Sid, if I ever come up with such a thing, I'll share! ?

Wow! Don't know about all of you but I just have the normal fig-dreams ....like where I'm the fig-emperor defending my fig-kingdom from evil fig-marauders.....and we celebrate our victory with a fig-festa...... Like I said.... totally normal....
