Greetings all

Just a quick snap to show you all half of my collection or so following the monster deluge of rain we received Thursday evening to Friday noon. Close to 4 inches of rain and a lot of high winds. Luckily I was able to move some out of the direct gale force winds. Some trees looking a bit ragged and worn, perhaps way too much water. I'm hoping today's warm sunny temps will bring them all around.

Another monster set of thunderstorms blew through this region early this morning. Fig trees are enjoying these natural waterings from Mother Nature. New pix shows Brown Turkey, Hardy Chicago, and Negronne.

No.1 Collection. No.2 Brown Turkey No.3 Hardy Chicago No.4 Negronne

Looks good Mark!  How is your LdA looking?  Mine is showing quite of bit of fmv still - since you are using somewhat different growth conditions maybe it is doing better?

Hey Steve It's looking pretty nice. I'll take a few pix and post them here in a bit. In the middle of a bathroom makeover right now, so time for second coat. Figs during next break. PS, my large in-ground HC, and fig hedge are all popping leaves now. Had me worried for awhile. Persimmon popping leaves slowly too.

It looks more healthy than mine with no obvious signs of fmv - good job!  What is your potting mix?  What kind of fertilizer/supplements do you use?

Just wanted to share a pix of our Brown Turkey that is really starting to look good now that warmer day and evening temps are here to stay AND I have my drip irrigation system operational.
