With daily temps in the 60's, I've decided to start shuffling the rooted cuttings out into light shade.

I don't see what all the complaining is about the shuffle!

LOL, shuffle of 2 pots?

some people here have 200-400 pots Kelby and some of those are as heavy as a human body.

My version of the shuffle will be putting anything smaller than an 18 gallon outside in it's spot and everything else will be close enough to drag in, I don't feel like pulling 50 pots back and forth this year.

I just started to plant the rooted cuttings in  this January, already have 80+ one Gallons and there are 350+ more cuttings to be rooted... they will be all outside in one gallons.
No shuffle for me, thank God!

Last Spring I had only two pots of fig cuttings, One green and one Black. I was so proud of myself.

Sarcasm Aaron, sarcasm!

You people in paradise...planting in January. Here in the Mid-Atlantic we have these things called seasons, much to my dismay.

I brought mine outside for the first time today. It's been several years since I've been here on the forum and I couldn't remember how cold it has to be before bringing them back inside. From what I have read, as long as there is no danger of frost they should be okay. Low of 48 forecast here tonight.
