| I'm new to growing figs so I would appreciate some advice.
Last weekend when I went to check on my fig, I notice it had broken dormancy. I brought it up from the cellar and now it's really leafing out. My question is: Should I be doing the fig shuffle? It's been in the low 40's with a light to moderate wind most days but nights it drops down into the 20's. What should I do? |

| If it were me at those temps no not yet. I would wait, last spring i was doing my fig shuffle around the 12th of month, this season i also started after i root pruned and weather turned nice. But now in 30s daily and 20s at night for least next 5 days. Mine will stay in garage for at least another 5 days days then i look at long term forecast again. Martin |

| Thanks Martin. That was my gut feeling but I figured I'd ask the folks in the know. Darn thing is growing like a weed. It's 7' tall and growing. |

| moosemac , I'm in central NH and have the same question of when to start the fig shuffle. Been so cool recently , I haven't been too tempted to start . Storage area in the barn basement staying around mid 30's so none of them are waking up yet. |
