We were at +8 degrees this morning.  My starts don't look like greenfigs yet.  At least someone has some signs of spring which means ours is getting closer.  Woo Hoo!!

Yeah, its gonna be 5 here tonight. Love the pics though.....they help.

Wow… 0 and +8 !  
You guys are my heroes! Growing figs up there is not easy.

Yep spring has arrived....or at least the plants think so.

My pomegranates are all leafing out but nothing on the fig or grapes yet. I can't wait. We will be in the low 80's for the next week and over 50 at night. Any time now... 

My plum tree's have flowers even the air layer i cut from it two weeks ago.

Desert Delight Nectarine has been going off for 2 weeks,had me worried for a while.

And I still have 3.5 months to the frost free date here.  Thankfully Spring will start to show up around the beginning of April.... well usually anyway.

So happy to see it creeping in somewhere. 

Mine have pretty much flowered out and are now small peaches and plums. Also, I have BB size mangoes and avocados.

You all are killing me!!!

I love the pictures, keep them coming.

Waynea, you will be eating your peaches and plums before I have blossoms. lol

Waynea. How do you keep the birds from eating them

Balmy 0°C/30°F here .
All outside fig trees ares sleeping for at least two months more perhaps 3 months .

Nice...25 here last night but it will be 68 Saturday.

19F herein Winder GA. I saw 17F on the truck temperature gauge on the way here but going up to the med 50s. The oaks around the house are breaking bud .great pics guys,spring is coming indeed.

I think those pictures classify as cruel and unusual punishment. It's a balmy 3 here today with more snow coming this weekend. UGH!

RIMike,

I agree with you, they are torturing us with these pictures. It was 0 when I got up this morning.

Not sure where I'm going to put the snow from this weekends storm, the snow banks around my driveway are over 4 feet tall.

Yeah - my garlic bed is under about 3 feet of snow. My dog even hates it - it's about 1 inch of ice on top of the snow beneath. He looks like a duck walking around out there.

Well, guys, your snow now means water later, you just need to wait a little.
Here in Los Angles we have no snow and hardly any rain. It is bone dry. You must irrigate or plant cacti. The figs do very well in this climate and I try to advertise heavily among my neighbors. It is a great backup and I am a popular guy :)
