    Introduction

    Hello all. I am new to this forum and a newbie in general. I have been over at f4f for 2 years or so. I have an atreano, a hardy Chicago cutting rooting and a potential RDB trade in the works. Not looking to end up with a giant collection as I barely have room for what I have now (maybe just another one or two) I am mostly out of space and the wife already thinks I have too many plants. I like to spend time learning about figs and general gardening on this and other forums. I am in queens, NYC and grow all in pots in my concrete backyard (except one in ground grapevine).
    Thanks

      Welcome to the forum. Tell your wife that we're sorry that you are going to have a huge collection.

        Welcome to the forum. I agree with Hershell, this place is full of fig enablers

            Welcome

            just this morning I was having exactly the same conversation with my wife......we have 5 acres to work with.....she asked if I already had plants of the new cuttings on the table which had arrived yesterday...LOL

            you're in good (and dangerous) company.......I understand there are a few cracks in sidewalks in Queens.......find a crack and fill it

                Welcome to the forum! Good luck sticking to your "2-4" plant principles. Somehow I see many potted figs in your future.

                Ross, were those the cuttings I sent you? Hope they survived the 100+*F weather!

                Welcome! If you move to the suburbs you will have more room for figs. Maybe it's time for a "Green Acres" talk.

                In the meantime, enjoy the great figs you have.
