I know I have outstanding trades. Please PM again. Unfortunately I was unable to water alot of my trees and they died :( Life sometimes throws you a wicked curve ball. I believe in karma and try to live my life accordingly. BUT sometimes, SH1t just happens. I was driving home from my business partners house. My car tire axle broke, I swerved and slammed thru the guard rail and leveled a few trees. I also flipped my car down the side of the mountain side. The chp said I flipped about 5-8 times!! I fractured 4 vertebrae in my back and neck. resulting in 4 herniated discs. I also punctured my lung and have 3 broken ribs. Scary part was when the Dr. told me if one my fractures was just a millimeter to left, I would've been a paraplegic. I have the following plants, up for sale. Send me an offer, rest will go up on ebay. I hate to get rid of my plants but due to the accident and my new business, I have zero time to contribute to my hobby and I hate watching them die from neglect!

St. Jerome Kathleen Black x 4 Gino's Black x 2 Peter's Honey Chicago Hardy Black Jack Capella Salem Dark Zingerella x2 Black Beth x 2 Negronne large x 4 Sal's Corleone x 2 Nero 600m Jin Ao Fen x 2 Black Madeira x2 Atreano RR x2 Galbun Desert King x3 Col De Dame Blanche x 2 Excel Brogliotto Nero Violet de Bourdeux Malta Black Yellow giant Madam De Deus Seasons x 3 Fico De Duman Melanzanna x3 MSVB x2 Italian Black Palestine Sucrette Napoiltana Black I am also trimming my plants that I'll be keeping, pm me for availability.

Holy Crap, So sorry about your accident. Concentrate on recovering first and I hope you have help placing the figs but they should be at the bottom of your priorities. Not to be funny but I did not read your first paragraph but read " to those I owe figs and I scrolled down and thought for a second I was looking at the red interior of a fig. You really got banged up. I hope your recovery goes well. Life's priorities can change so quickly. Take care. __________________ Tom Massachusetts Zone 6b

Holy crap, someone must have been looking out for you! I've worked in hospitals where people who have been in less severe accidents have ended up a lot worse. As a note, if you're taking codeine derivatives (hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc.), be sure to take a stool softener twice daily and don't be afraid to add a laxative on top of that. They will plug you up in no time and I'm sure you don't want to add hemorrhoids to your list of woes. And remember, pain is easier to prevent than to treat! __________________ -- Tamar Atlanta, GA Attempting to grow: LSU Purple, Genoa White Honey, Kadota, Alma, Lyndhurst White, Adriatic JH, Desert King, Sal's, Salem Dark, Improved Celeste, Celeste, Marylane Seedless, Panachee, Marseilles Black VS, Sal's Corleone, Kalamata, 135-15s, Negronne, White Marseilles, Beer's Black, Norella, Monstrueuse, unknown cultivars... yeah, the list is too long to update anymore.

Thanks for the support and kind words, everyone. They really do mean a lot to me. Aside from a horrendous scar on my forehead and head, and some pain, I'll be ok. I just need to wear this funny looking body brace for a few months. I know I am lucky, I'm not a paraplegic or worse dead . I am lucky no one was in my car with me, especially my daughter. I dont want anyone to feel, that I am not going to fulfill my trade obligations. So many people have been so kind and selflessly sent me cuttings. I promise to honor every single trade agreement. BTW most of my plants are around 2-4 feet tall, anyone have any idea how to ship these big plants? __________________ Zone 8 So Cal desert Wishlist- Rouge de Bordeaux, Fig de Parfum, St. Rita, Pastiliere, Norland, Smith, (Native) du Argentile, Col de Dame Noir,
