i need some sun and heat here...

been cloudy with bit of rain all this week. the new 1 gal plants are all looking sad. could really use some sun and heat so they will perk up and start growing again. 

Not any to be had here at my place. Yesterday 90 today 60. No sun here. 30 mile wind to boot. Close the back door!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update  7:00 pm Doing the fig drop and roll. Drop the pots to there side and cover them with old blankets.
Low of 29-33 high winds warning.

Zone 8
South West TX

Thanks to global warming it snowed here last night . ha ha

None down here either Pete. 62 and yak

Sunny all day... and 70 deg F. I put all my 1 gallons outside (in shade) today for the first time. Thanks to global warming, I'm benefiting from all the new weather patterns  : )

We might have problems with a nontropical low going through florida and the SE rather slowly over the next few day.

After I put all my dormant figs out and many are leafing out and producing brebas it's now 34 and snowing.  Low is predicted at 31.  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

i see some sunshine out there today :) and it's balmy 51 degrees x)

I  have been enjoying the cool weather, and frequent rain, but I don't want to see the late freezes like many have been seeing. I know it's not fig weather but give me a high of 70 and low in the 40's and I can get a lot of work done, eating bland and soured figs.

Pete its 42 here but will hit 58 for 30 minutes later this afternoon!
Suppose to warm up though and all plants now in yard.
Did put a few small ones in garage last night now taken back out.
They could use a natural watering so im waiting as it may rain today.

Have to say its nice looking at the plants in yard daily to see new leaves emerging .

last yr this time, i think i saw enough main crop coming on my VdB and Paradiso, nothing so far this yr. i can see them trying.. but the weather is strangely low this spring.

My tomatoes are struggling too. This time last year I had full grown green tomatoes. This year, only seen a couple flowers.

Cooling off to a high of 90 today from 106 earlier in the week. 

I will do an even trade with anyone for 15 degrees of heat for your 15 degrees of cold.

Throw in UcDavis Ischia Black and you have a deal .  ; )

Don't have that, but I can throw in 500 miles of blue skies and 5 extra hours of sunlight.   Free delivery included.
