i have a feeling this spring isn't gonna be hot either. hope it's not too wet.

Believe it or not, the farmer's almanac which hit this winter's forecast perfectly is calling for a slighly above normal April and a hotter than normal summer, here in the deep south. Not that I love hotter than normal in July/Aug, but if they are right our figs should enjoy a good growing season starting next month. Maybe a great April will make up for it being tax month ;-)

Of course all that talk about warmth is hard to believe looking out at 15F and everything white this morning.

hot, i'm fine with. non-stop rain is what i'm afraid of. 

My sister sent me a fig for Valentines Day and it showed up looking like that because it got stuck in postage h%ll. I called the nursery it came from and they said water and wait it would bounce back... and it is tiny, looks like I could easily go bonsai with it...was crazy those dark green crispy leaves..

Looks like it got mine too...that snow and single digits was too much
