      I have over 90 varieties! 🤯 only because UA-cam videos make you want to them all!!! Not my fault.

      Politics is what drove me to watch fig videos! Life & growth & God vs destruction, evil, and lies. Best decision ever

    I live in the Chicago suburbs. This year is my first trying to grow figs and very excited. This greenhouse looks awesome. Hopefully one day I can build one. Any link to where you would recommend buy one like this. Trying to root Olympian and Sweet Diana in sand. Any tips will be appreciated. I am looking for Italian 258, colcol de dame blanc and black madeira cutting or tree to buy. Do you sell locally? 😊

      Hi there! I bought my greenhouse from Costco online.
      I’m really excited for you! I didn’t have too much luck rooting in sand. 🙁
      I do sell locally and I REALLY recommend Atreano (green outside/ red inside) and Italian Honey (yellow outside/ white inside) for here if you like the light figs. I have trees of both of these varieties for sale. If you are interested just email me (a-fig@att.net)
      I love these because they are very early and very productive!! The Italian honey tree I have for sale is already 4 years old and will be amazing this summer. The Atreano - I have ages 1-4 years and great pricing.

    Are you monitoring the CO2 levels in the greenhouse? is there a good air ventilation from outside in? Hope this is not too many questions😊

      @afig3539  Місяць тому +2

      You are so funny with all your questions! 😂🤣
      Ok…I am not monitoring CO2. I have a louvre window that is slightly open. Plus, pretty sure the trees regulate the air around them to suit themselves. Much better than we can.
