19 days 'til Spring. Hopefully the temps will be creeping up soon. Just the sound of 'March' makes it a good day. Daylight savings is in 9 days. Not much longer!! __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Lucky you, In Romania daylight saving will be done only in March 30th. I' am eager to start doing stuff outside. __________________ Laurentiu Brasov, Romania, Zone 5 Wish list: Negronne, Lungo Del Portogallo, Celeste, Florea, Rmali, Sal's fig, Doree, Ischia Black, Longue-DAout.

Pete, Did you move the tree into a warmer/brighter room since it's budding? I have a 1 year tree doing the same thing in my garage. Temps in my garage are currently 50 at night. I'm thinking I need to put it under grow lights. What do you think? __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

It's already warm here. Tomato plants in pots in a warm spot are already showing young flower buds. In my part of California it's dry as a bone. We need another good rain really bad. The poppies are starting to bloom, but the weeds are already withering up. It could be another bad fire year. Water restrictions can't be too far away. __________________ WillsC's new fig forum: http://www.Ourfigs.com (and blueberries)

Adding another hour to the day gives me a better chance to get some things done in the yard when I get home from work during the week. I have so much to do outside before spring actually gets here. Rain barrel setup, garden space prepping, etc. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

I’m with Gena..! Much as I’m enjoying this unseasonal 80 deg day, we sure could use a little more rain before the onset of spring. Was shocked to find Home Depot garden section completely stock up on pony pack veggies of all varieties yesterday. Geeesh….we’re talking end of February, that’s a little early, even for this locale. After learning the hard way, I’m not going to get suckered into planting tomatoes until the last of winter/spring chills pass. Good time to get seeds going though! Best of fig karma to all…… __________________ Jack San Diego, North County Coastal Zone 9A Wish List for 2015: Black Madeira, Col de Dame Blanc. Noir and Gris,
