Looking forward to spring

Spent some time potting up some more rooted cups ready for the migration to the 1G pots mainly as an excuse to enjoy the first warmer day in a long time outside.

Jack, I too am looking forward to spring. Those sure look good. I have a bunch to up pot myself soon.

Those look great !

Nice roots and plants. I was doing some up-potting yesterday too. Am really looking forward to this fig year.

It was gorgeous here to day (SoCal). And the time changes this evening. What more could one ask for? Warm, sunny weather, longer days, and nice plants to play with. That's my idea of heaven. :)

GREAT looking cuttings Jack.  Temps in the mid 40's today, but I did the same today myself.  Wish mine had roots like yours, but they're not even close.

I am so ready for spring I planted a little Early Girl tomato outside a couple of days ago.  And we typically get our last frost in mid to late April.

It's covered tonight, and I give it a less than 50/50 chance, but I just had to do something.

I planted 4 Early Girls in large black plastic pots about a week ago. They already have developing flower buds. :)  We should have warmish weather from here on. I might put a few more directly in the ground tomorrow.

Nice looking roots Jack...I'm sooo looking forward to spring...I have 4 trees in 15gal. pots that I keep in a nursery wagon...just rolled them out for a few hours of sun yesterday afternoon(it was 58* here), but it drops down to high 20's at night...let the fig shuffle begin. (I'm happy for it---will do it again today and Monday)...supossed to be in the 60's those two days.

Thanks, Looking at my markings on the bags these came from, I started the cuttings in the bag mid Nov. 

Suzi, note the top of the pots shows the moss turning green, that is the grow lights inspiring the moss to come alive...

Jack,

If you're interested you can come over and help pot up some of my cuttings. Just a few, not much;)

Looks like you have over 300 cuttings there at quick count!  Planning an orchard or spares for trades? How's the sunlamp work out for you? 

Jack,

Most are 2s, 3s, 4s or more. I will keep one of each and share the extras with friends and family.

With all the fake and bad sellers coming out of the wood works I am packing up now before things get out of hand. Nothing worse than having a plant that I've been growing for two or more years and only to findout it was not true to the name. 

This is an issue now so imagine how much worse and going to get?

In a few years I will reduce my collection to only the best of the best.

BTW Jack,
The light was the best investment I have made for this hobby. I had to trim off some of the leaves off the bigger plants because they were preventing the other smaller plants from getting light.

I am doing the same, simply wish to have a diverse collection and enjoy, then share with friends and family. The trading with members has been fun and rewarding. I do not mind having unknowns, if I choose to buy them that way, but am annoyed at the fraud online.  I want to believe honest and dishonest has been there for centuries, online fraud is a serious problem just that internet makes it so much easier given the reach and but I also believe it also is much easier to catch them

Jack,

Per the State Farm commercial, the girl dating the French model says their not supposed to tell you lies via the interenet. Everything is true.

Bon jour

Always believe beautiful models, there is a long thread waiting to happen!
