That's glorious!

OK... I know there will be people who tell you that you have a problem.... They're probably correct! But you're in a safe place here! :D

That's so cool. I like what you're doing with your local nursery. I do have a friend nearby with an old family run Italian Italian nursery. A tiny place... and there's no agreement... A few times a year I bring them fig trees and when I visit they hook me up with soil and stuff.... and occasionally we hang out in the back for a glass of vino and a panino :)

Giovanni still works there every day at the age of 83. His son Antonio doing the heavy lifting now... It's a nice place to hang out for someone like me who doesn't get much hang-out time.... there's a bench inside the front door where the older neighbourhood residents will sit all day and shoot the breeze... Mostly about how much more things cost than they used to! :ROFLMAO:

I'm so glad you joined

That sounds awesome. The best part of this hobby is the warm friendships we develop. Thank you for sharing. 💛

I have a couple of landscapers I hire when I do moving, fertilizing, uppotting & storing. This yr is the 1st yr Im pruning my trees.I sold a couple hundred trees to a Fig Nursery here in NJ. Part of the deal was that he could get the cuttings from my remaining 200 mature trees. He pruned them patiently & offered to put the trees in the garage as well. So that was a relief. However I got ho stop shooting myself in the foot by rooting more cuttings.i currently have about 300 cuttings rooting 😫

300 cuttings! My you’re DEEP in the rabbit hole. I can see it now you’re going to be the next big name for the yearly cutting sales. You’ll be right on top with Harvey and Big Bill. BTW what’s your is your first name? You should add it on your signature line in the settings. 😃
 
>>I do the Perlite Vermiculite method. I also included my garage at my parents and I have my garage filled w about 100 trees 😜


Ooooohhhh LaLa!! You got me drooling this morning, LOL...

I better get to work :)

My name is Maha. I have had a local Fig Nursery prune my trees in exchange for moving the trees inside the garage. So I wont be selling any cuttings like Harvey or Big Bill.I would certainly be open to share & trade cuttings here & there.
