FigTalk
FigTalk began as BasementFigs, founded by Homer. Starting w/ indoor fig-growing experiments, it grew into a vibrant hub. As collaborators like Antonio (The FigFather) & Cajun Chuck joined, the channel rebranded in 2025 as FigTalk, a community-led platform w/ interviews, grow logs, tastings, tours, and expert tips. Today it serves both beginners and serious growers w/ guides, seasonal updates, propagation demos, and orchard visits—uniting fig lovers under one canopy.
Basement Figs (Homer): Founder, began with basement propagation in Zone 6a; later expanded outdoors and led the rebrand to FigTalk.
The FigFather (Antonio): Midwest fig mentor, expert in container growing, advance growing techniques, and passion for cooking; a regular feature on the channel.
Cajun Chuck: Orchard grower and considered the top fig Shorts creator, offering tours of early/mid-season varieties. First FigTalk video post-rebrand featured him.
