Hi John,
I'd be interested in the Desert King fig cuttings. Do you know if they'll root this time of year? Take a look at my list. Thanks.

Tom,
Toogood (Plant Propagation, '99, pg 50) says cuttings of current year's fig hardwood root well in autumn right after leaf fall, which is just happening now - He suggests outdoor rooting overwinter of 8 -9 inch cuttings. This is an agressive 3 yr old tree about 10 ft tall now (as opposed to the Brown Turkey next to it, which was planted at the same time and died back to the ground in a not-especially-cold first winter). The Desert King was well on its way to a second fruiting this summer, but ran out of time!

Are you growing your Brugs and Datura outside? What's your experience? I've got three brugs I'm trying outside this year - I've covered them with a thick blanket of alfalfa hay. We usually have 15-20 frost nights, a night or two around 25 deg, but it could of course go colder on occassion. What's your lows? If you think they'll make it with protection, I'd love to try a datura. Whata'ya think?

I would love to try some of your pineapple guava and fig. I have Heirloom tomatoes, a few green zebra, some black prince, perhaps another. I also have heirloom carrots and spinach. Take a look at my list, see if anything intrests you.

Hi John,
Wondering if you have any guava to trade. I have quite a few vegetable seeds, I just started.

Do you have any thornless raspberry?

I have lots of veggie seeds, I also have himrod, concord, interlaken and suffolk red grape cuttings. Check out my list and see if there is anything you want to trade.

Thanks,
Lisa
