VIRGINIA

Pete (FigLife / SubmarinePete)

I grew figs in my backyard in the suburbs of Washington, DC. The climate in Northern Virigina is humid and wet year-round, causing many problems with pests and spoilage. The mid-Atlantic has a good season length (~3900 GDD) and summers can get uncomfortably hot.
