    One of the most popular fig varieties overall.  When ripe, it gets very soft and extremely syrupy.  For me, it is very productive when in full sun, but not a good choice for lower light locations.  It is a very sweet berry fig.

    Great fig, with a bit of an dark olive exterior, red around the ostiole. Its deep red interior reminds me of some of the Col De Dame varieties. Excellent so far, but unfortunalely this one had no variagation on it when ripening.

    All hardy kiwis are vigorous growers and great vining plants.  This vine, like all hardy kiwi, can and should be pruned heavily (by 50-75%) at least 2 times a year, winter, and summer. It likes to be watered well for the first year or so, then does well on its own after that

    Hyssop is one of my favorite flowering plants.  It brings tons of bees, butterflies, and birds to your garden and yard.  As a native perennial in the mint family, it is great for the pollinators when it flowers, and when the flowers start to die back, the finches love it for its seeds.
