Hi Bert,

 

My figs are dormant, but the buds are a dark green.  The buds are about ½” long.

 

I would not be surprised to see swelling in the next few weeks.

 

My figs are also in an unheated garage, but up off the floor about a 1 foot.  I found things on the floor sometimes froze during that January cold snap which did not happen this year.

 

The weather of late is a real downer with all the snow.  Whether it is the County or the Township the roads are just not being plowed properly.  If you do not live on the main road your street does not get plowed, and when it finally does get plowed, days later, all you have is ice ridges, ruts, and ankle breakers.  God help us for the bureaucrats have failed us (again).

 

Dreaming of fig squares… one day.

 

Later,

Tom

Hi figophiles

Are you getting green growth on your plants? Mine, in cold garage with little light, one has 1" of green leaf, the rest have green tips. How tell?

Cheers           Bert
