Hey Tom,

 

That’s great to hear. Both about Annurca and the figs. Can you stand this rotten weather? We just get ourselves a nice long weekend to put our back muscles to the test, and we might have to waste them on shoveling snow.

I’ve been rather occupied these last few days, and will enjoy peeking at the scionwood you sent sometime tonight.

 

It will be interesting to track the weather for the next several months. I’ve already been hearing about hot and dry – maybe that will reduce the number of leaf roller attacks this year. Has anyone heard about the weather for this coming summer?

 

Cheers, Bizmark.

Hello Biz,

 

I am beginning to see some germination of the Annurca apple seeds.

 

I kept them in the fridge all winter, and about a week ago I put them in a zip-lock bag with a wet/damp paper towel, sealed it, then placed the zip-lock bag atop my PC monitor.

 

I will be potting some up in the next couple of days as tap roots emerge.

 

My figs are fine.  The freeze did not kill them.  Hurray!

 

Later,

Tom
