Thank You, UC Davis!

Last fall, I ordered some fig cuttings from UC Davis Germplasm Repository. *free* Well, mostly. I had to set up a FedEx account so I could pay for shipping. But it was so worth it!

Today, I was surprised by a FedEx truck in my driveway. =)


I'm pretty excited! So, I've put them in a jug of water, and in a week or two I'll stick them in some soil mixed with perlite and hope they take root.


Wish me luck! And watch for updates. =)

  2. I love my figs! All of the originals were either lost in the first move to NY, or given away when I moved to Louisiana. But I do have a couple of babies that I brought home from Louisiana! Brown Turkey, Olympian, and Fignominal, a dwarf fig.
