I'm getting eager to move the figs out of the greenhouse. Pretty soon some of the bigger ones aren't going to fit through the door. Some might even get damaged when I try. But if I don't give my wife some room to start vegetables I'm going to get damaged. However, the extended forecast calls for low 40's and 1 or 2 nights in the upper 30's over the next 10 days. It won't get to freezing but it's still too early to have them outdoors? Or they ok? |

Tough decision. I moved several figs outdoors in March since our long term forecast called for no more frost or freezing temperatures. In early April we had a frost that set back the figs I put outdoors. Now my best ones were the ones I kept indoors until last week. |

If you are going to get damaged I'd get them out. ;) I had mine out for about 2 weeks now, if it gets closer to freezing ill take them back in. |

I also have no room in my greenhouse and am getting elbowed for space for the veggies. |

Tony, I have all mine outside at this point(well not this year's cuttings) and looking at the forecast for next Tues to Fri the temp is supposed to hit lows of 33-39 at night. I'm worried I will have to shuffle them all back into the garage, but it is worth it to get them growing ASAP. |

I'm in CT and have moved all the fig trees outside this past Sunday. I'm giving my 1 gallon potted up cutting some tough love this year and put them out too. So far everything it hanging in there. |

Still holding off on taking figs out of the greenhouse. The extended forecast here has the low on Thursday night/Friday morning as 32. Hope that's the end of our cold weather! |

Everybody is out. Still doing fine. Waiting to see signs of life from the in-ground babies that I had wrapped and mulched. Fingers crossed! |

I went to Bills Figs today to pick up a few more trees and asked him when he felt the best time for me to bring my rooted cuttings out and his answer was to wait a few more weeks. After looking at how his trees are doing I think that I'll go with that. |
