Hello folks. Longtime lurker who’s learned a ton from all of you over the years. I have an orchard of 40+ in ground trees in Northern, VA (zone 7a) and about 10 in pots. Now that I’m about 6 years into my fig journey, I feel more confident contributing more. Good luck with the site!  By the way, I never got my “confirm” email. Today’s pulled figs before the rains… (and a test to see if I could add an image). They’re in the freezer now for a future batch of fig jam…. I saved the ripe ones for fresh eating after drying in the fridge.

I think you have the right idea with eating fresh and freezing for preserves. They look delicious for sure !

I feel I need to apologize to so many that I haven't been able to welcome personally... It's after midnight and here I am still working on the new site. I'm so excited to see so many friends joining.... 

I'm not far away... just buried in a keyboard for a little while. :)

Congratulations on the new forum! Glad you did it, so I didn't have to. I was going to reluctantly post on ourfigs, but no need to do that any more :)
I've got a lot of good fig content coming in the next few months +

Figured out that Teramo is the exact same fig as Brown Sugar crunch, have pics, etc.

Tasted the first green goblin! What a tree and texture.....
and lots more.

Thanks Joe!

Just wanted to say it would be great if everyone would add their location/grow zone to their signature line. Maybe admin could add a prompt to the sign-up info. Also, wishlists so we can share varieties.
 
@"Gladstone1969"#72 . Really great in-ground and potted lists. I actually have one or two of what you're looking for. Gulbun LOL probably misspelling it I think it's a good phenotype of the variety cuz I have first year figs on it.
 
Cool.  I got your message so I don’t think it deleted. There’s always a learning curve to a new platform. Let’s connect when everything is lignified!  I am interested in trades!  I still need to make a signature. bFigless said:
