seeing good number of breba on some of the trees. as with all my trees, i'm not looking for a huge crop, just to taste. if i don't screw up like last yr, i might be able to taste some by late may/early june :) 

Hi Pete .
Hoping you a good season as last year it seemed tough going for you with all the rain.

Also anxious for your Madeira to perhaps wow you.
PS - let it concentrate on main crop only.

matin, 

BM broke bud, but i haven't noticed breba on them. i'm probably keep one or two if they put on breba and knock rest of them off. 

Late here no bud break but 40s next week .
Watching weather as March is the time to begin fig shuffle to get ahead here - keeping hope.

Pete was looking at old 2010/2011 disk to find perlite #4 particle size with coins to show member.
Saw the Madeira with breba and the heavy snow they called a blizzard nearly 2 weeks prior. !

martin, 

i still need to do some more root pruning, water them well.. up pot them.. this weekend will be busy.. i'm planning to put all my figs on the front walkway this yr. need to set up drip system with larger hose to water more plants. the front walk way faces south, and it has brick wall right behind it. the trees will overdose on the sun and heat :) 

Martin,
 Have you ever left any breba on to ripen? If so how do they compare to the main crop?

art,

i'm really bad with breba crop. last yr, i kill them all by mistake. this yr, i prune all my older trees very hard so i won't see any. yesterday, i must have knocked off handful while moving the trees outside. ones that i tasted were mostly from VdB and Paradiso. they weren't as inferior as i imagined them.

i'm hoping weather will cooperate so i can taste some this yr.

moved 10 to 1 gal and 16 to cups today...

So, if I have fruit forming on my trees right now, that would be the breba crop? Since my trees are only three feet tall, should I cull the breba crop so the tree can save energy for vegetative growth and then the main crop? I have yet to harvest a ripe fig from my trees. I just keep pulling them off and waiting :(

moved everything back inside today. tonight is 32, tomorrow 31... with freezing rain. after this, there will be another night next week at 32... depends on how long it will stay at 32 next week, i might leave them out next week.
