A guy that I bought a small fig tree from had three varieties growing behind his house. They were huge.

As a kid, not a fig tree anywhere was safe from me. I would climb into them and sit there eating figs.

I had fig trees in my backyard..came with the house. I don’t like figs, and finally had to dig up the roots to get rid of them..I would hack them down to the ground, and they’d still come back.

I was going to put my window vent opener that came while I was gone on my greenhouse window today. I must have left my brain in Las Vegas as none of the directions are computing in my brain.

This is funny-besides all the “wear safety glasses” kind of silly warnings, warning #10 says”Do not set up the product if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.” Maybe they sell a lot of those openers in Colorado or something.

lol My grandmother nipped that in the bud real quick. She made the best fig preserves! Ours was pretty big.

sockmonkey, You’re welcome. Thank *you*. I’ve never even heard of Rodeo Tomatoes before. I need help with mine (Roma & Valley Girl). The leaves look awful (until it gets cold), but they produced like crazy *but* they were smaller than I’d have liked. Peppers, too. I think I’m not fertilizing right- so this article looks like it will help.

The Ouachita Thornless Blackberry was developed by Arkansas and they seem to be the masters at producing new strains. I think I read Texas A&M was collaborating with them but maybe I dreamed that.
