Hey Gang,
Good to hear from you as well. Sorry I haven't been around much. Work keeps me very busy and I'm on business travel very frequently so I'm not often around and haven't had much down-time. I hope to find some time to see what everyone has been up to and to share some nice pictures, etc.
My figs are all out of storage now but they haven't started to bud yet because it is still too cold. It looks like the weather should turn this week in NJ so they should be growing nicely in another week or so. In the meantime, I've been nursing some vegetable seeds under my grow lights ... I've got zucchini, eggplant, tomato, sweet red peppers, red onion, cantaloupe and radishes all sprouted and growing nice. I've moved the first of these outside this past week. I also planted about 25 strawberry plants that I'm looking forward to enjoying. I got an early start on the garden this year ... Ok, actually I was just getting frustrated with the long winter, got impatient and started very early. Lol.
