Hello all. I am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is John and I live in upstate NY. This year is my first trying to grow my own figs. As a kid I remember going to my grandmothers house in NYC and picking fresh figs off the 2 trees she had in her backyard. Needless to say there has been about a 30 year gap since then. I have a Hardy Chicago so far for my first fig tree. I can't wait!

welcome to the forum...

Welcome John,
Hardy Chicago is a good fig to start with.

Welcome to the forum.

Like a tree, your collection will grow and spread.

Good luck

Welcome John. Make room for more trees, you're gonna need it! Lol

Welcome aboard John!

Welcome John.

Welcome to the forum Johnnie.

Hi John...welcome to the Forum...that Hardy Chicago is a great tree for colder climates(upper N.Y. state)...you will soon be adding tree after tree to your collection...good luck with your figs, and have a great growing season.

And so it begins . . . .

Welcome, John!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I look forward to my future addiction.

Welcome from a fellow newbie, John. :o). I'm starting to believe that figs are like potato chips, once you start.......etc etc. I wish you great success. :o)

I also joined this month and all ready I have learned so much more from the help I have received here.  The folks in this forum have been so nice to me and have made me feel welcome.  I'm sure you will receive the same from them.

Glad you joined.

This fig world is awesome and welcomes you onboard!

Welcome!!!

So far I am very humbled by this forum. The other ones I belong to are full of nasty know it all types and generally all you get is attitude. Again thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome and good luck.

Welcome.  You've got a great variety to start with.

Welcome John
