Fig Addict: Seattle Meetup. Tasting 26 Different Figs! 2018

[@IrreverendThomas]

Such a blast, Ben, thank you for having us over! The first inaugural was a huge success, certainly will look forward to this each year from here on out

[@benbseattle]

The beauty of this event is that next year there will probably a dozen new figs to taste and rank. So we'll never be tasting just the same figs over and over.

[@IrreverendThomas]

For sure! I look forward to contributing fruit hopefully starting next year. If not, then plants again 👍🏼

Ben.. I been binge watching your fig video for days now.. Totally addicted to it. I live in a flat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a small balcony so there's no hope for me growing fig here. Though, I might be losing my job anytime soon.. And I feel like it's fine. Screw this city life.. I'm going back to my hometown and grow fig..

Thx Nazlina. Sometimes i want to do the same thing

What an awesome event to host, Ben. Had I attended, I would have brought some Verte figs. I had a good crop on my in ground trees. Figs just haven't caught on in this part of the state, that I know of.

[@CatchCatchFish]

They can definitely survive in Vancouver, WA.

Are all of these grown hydroponically and does growing figs hydroponically prevent the wasps from getting in?

[@keithsmith2921]

Is anyone growing LSU Red in the Seattle area? If so how’s it handling the climate?

[@abuyossefraz3762]

[@anthonycruz6556]

Any rooted cuttings of your Golden Riverside for sale or trade?

[@kokaneeflyer9235]

Another great video Ben, only thing is, I'm old, have lousy hearing and when you lay the music over yourself talking in the previous video and over the whole conversation in this video I miss a lot of what is said. I like your videos for the figs and all the good information so the music kind of defeats the purpose of the videos for me. That being said I wish I could have been at your get together, I'm sure I would have met some great people, had a great time and learned a lot!

[@benbseattle]

Part of it is the microphone doesnt pick up the voices as well from a far. But ill mute music a tad bit more. Thx for the feedback

[@kokaneeflyer9235]

Ben B. Seattle Thank you Ben, since Mike Kincaid pointed me at you videos, you and Nolan have become my #1Fig tasting resource!

[@nickka2009]

Ben, did you ask ram and slavi why they didn't have Golden R in their top 3?

[@benbseattle]

they are more berry fig fans, but they did ask for the GR cutting afterwards lol

[@nickka2009]

[@thelastdongm]
