Hope to return to LSU during dormant season Jan/Feb.

Lost all of mine in a bitter divorce and the aftermath. I had 34 varieties--many unnamed. Shame. I was always partial to those that produce breba and fall crops; BT does not and I don't think Celeste does either. (Had both.)
If you really like eating figs (which I don't--just loved propagating them) then you need to verify that new varieties "double crop". Essentially that means nearly a continuous harvest from early summer through fall.
I'm sorry I missed the meat...er...meet also. You all should be glad I did--I'm one of those kinda skinny people buffet owners think they'll make a killing on. Ha! When I'm "charged" up, I make those guys who swallow a bazillion hot dogs in 2 minutes flat look like amateurs.
