Sunny all day... and 70 deg F. I put all my 1 gallons outside (in shade) today for the first time. Thanks to global warming, I'm benefiting from all the new weather patterns  : )

We might have problems with a nontropical low going through florida and the SE rather slowly over the next few day.

Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette

Rooting:  Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

I  have been enjoying the cool weather, and frequent rain, but I don't want to see the late freezes like many have been seeing. I know it's not fig weather but give me a high of 70 and low in the 40's and I can get a lot of work done, eating bland and soured figs.

Pete its 42 here but will hit 58 for 30 minutes later this afternoon!
Suppose to warm up though and all plants now in yard.
Did put a few small ones in garage last night now taken back out.
They could use a natural watering so im waiting as it may rain today.

Have to say its nice looking at the plants in yard daily to see new leaves emerging .

Don't have that, but I can throw in 500 miles of blue skies and 5 extra hours of sunlight.   Free delivery included.
