Nice way to start the season. We've only had .82" of rain in 3 months. Hoping for some rain next week. Somehow we skipped winter this year. I think the east coast got ours on top of theirs.


 

Nice!  What kind of fig is it?

Bob, It's a Marseilles Black VS.

That MBVS is living it up on the West coast!  That's a great picture.

Spring in late Feb? :( We won't have spring here in Maryland til early April.

Some nice looking breba's there.

 Sue that's amazing loooking! 
I moved from down the hill from you,  Valley Center,  6 yrs ago.  I really didnt appreciate how easy growing fruit was. Now I've learned about Winter. 

Great picture Sue, Spring has sprung down South also. I was gonna put up a post with the same title but I am a little behind in taking pictures. Maybe next week as we are going visit friends out of town this week end. Good luck on the slow and easy rain. I would send you some if I could, we've had more than our share. Looking for drier weather to get the spring garden started.

Soni,
My area got about 1 1/2" on Friday. It was touted as the 'storm of the century', the biggest storm since '83, NOT.

I'm assembling raised garden beds in-between rain squalls. Bottoms are covered with gopher wire, sides and top with chicken wire to keep out the other critters. Hope it's worth the effort and $$$.

EDIT: Today's rain brings my area up to 2" or so. Still less than half our average rainfall.

EDIT 2: By end of the day Saturday my area was up to 3 1/4" of rain, not bad but the total for the year is only half of our average, around 5".

What a beautiful plant.

not yet here. tomorrow night temp is above 50, but day after it's dropping below 20.
