I have a couple friends with deluxe heated greenhouses that could give my fig plants an early start. I haven't told them how many I have yet....
With only 120 frost free days here, my figs need every advantage!
My question is, when would be the right time to get them going indoors? June is typically when outdoor conditions are right for moving them outside, which I imagine I will do with most of them. I was thinking Mid-March as being a possible target date, this would add 2.5 months to my growing season, and give some of my late ripening cultivars a chance. Downside would be that I'd be commuting a bit to tend to them, adding a drip irrigation system or SIPs would help some and I am looking into those options.
