What is your WL?

I've been asked that so many times... I use what everyone else uses: Tomato Tone, Texas Tomato Food, Shake 'n Feed, Garden Tone, Miracle-Gro, etc. Whatever I had on hand. The only thing I do differently is I use potting soil heavy on plant compost and worm castings, both of which comprise 60% of the soil.
Walmart has Shake 'n Feed on clearance, I saw it last night. I will go back to get the Shake 'n Feed today.
 
Walmart is having clearance sales now. Last night I bought all the remaining 4-4-4 organic fertilizers and the 5-6-3 tomato fertilizers.
Our Walmart decided to clear out everything in the home and garden center and replace it with Christmas stuff. It is still in the high 80's-low 90's. I went there a week ago to get a bag of Miracle Grow potting soil and saw the Christmas stuff, so I went to Lowes and discovered that Lowes decided to raise the price of their Miracle Grow potting soil. This was at a time that I was expecting to find it on sale at Walmart for $5. Instead I paid $12 at Lowes.

The same thing with my Walmart, you have to walk around the garden section to find the clearance.
 
My fig wishlist is anything good/interesting. I just love trying new figs. Angelito is at the top of my list though, since mine did not make it.
Izbat an naj, and RLBV sound great too.

I will be open to trading locally come dormant season if anyone in California is interested.

The Celeste and VdB would be plenty. I found a local seller here in Madison through searching on figbid who had Strawberry Verte, Col. Littman’s, and Smith in stock. Bought the lot but I don’t think he had VdB or Celeste available. He even went out of his way to meet me in person and save delivery costs! I’m really loving folks who are into figs. So generous and helpful.
I also want to add to my list whatever it is that @Figgin' A feeds his fig trees. 😆

@EXTfigs LOL you and me both brother. He sure does grow some beautiful fig fruit.

@Steven J wonderful varieties, I believe many of your trees come from a great seller
 
@Figless. Do you know who the new giveaway cuttings manager will be? Is there a mechanism for members to send spare cuttings to the manager for distribution? Or is there a need for a trade for postage board to move those cuttings around the members. I cant believe one person would have enough fridge space to accommodate all the cuttings or the postage budget to get them distributed!
 
I will be donating Gulbun cuttings by the handful to our new cuttings giveaway manager.
If you ever have a rooted cutting id be happy to pay you for it, my cuttings game is weak, to date ive only rooted 1 cutting, killed off about 20 others 🥲

If you need I can send some cuttings to a member who's great at propagating. Then he can root it for you, and send it to you free of any charges. Honored to help you.
 
That would be great! I need to add some earlier figs to my collection and I have never heard anything bad about DTE. It's supposed to be super productive.
I tasted one off my friend’s mature tree, and it was so amazingly good, I keep saying, “Wow! Oh, wow!! This a so good! Wow’” 😆
