nice chickenman! I have eaten so many figs that I don't really care much for them any more. My parents had several large clumps of fig trees in our back yard that I got to help gather when they were ripe. Dad used to make strawberry preserves using figs and strawberry jello mix ... only way to tell it from the real thing was the size of the seeds. I have tried to start a root from their trees unsuccessfully a number of times and the few times I did get them to start, the dang deer clipped em off at ground level within 3 days.

OK fellas.......Wife calls from work, say's "one of her employees has some seeds, to I want them?" I said "sure" (lack of intell for sure) She gets home and....See photo below that is one trash bag full, plus we have 2 boxes, BUT WAIT, she is sending more!!!! WTH Sorry for the crappy cell photo, i am a bit "overwhelmed" Apparently the girls mother works for a "Large retailer" who was throwing these out taking the tax break vs selling at a discount is all I can guess. Much will go in my food plot, but I am sure willing to share if the logistics can be worked out....geeez

Try hand pollinating, but heat will cause that too (with some types) and not much you can do then.

Is it too late to plant a Jalapeņo? I was thinking of a few plants in 5 gallon containers.

Looks good Cobra. Plant your broccoli and cauliflower seeds next week on up until September if you want to grow them from seeds. You can start with a 2 foot area with your seeds and grow enough for your whole neighborhood.
