What is new at Figs 4 Fun
2008
The new formatting is essentially complete. The pictures have been moved off to individual galleries. "More Info" pages have been created for varieties with greater amounts of information. All of the 320 USDA / UC Davis accessions have now been included, with their accession data sheets in PDF format. Indexes have been updated to include all of the USDA accessions. Additional pictures from the USDA / UC Davis collection. Several Forum members toured the collection in September with the goal of photographing additional varieties. An additional collection in Orange County, California was also photographed this season. These pictures, along with thousands of new ones from the Figs 4 Fun Collection are being prepared for addition to the website before the end of the year.
