Come on up…we’ll go for a few mile jog tomorrow afternoon!
Highes yesterday 40’s, teens now and temps still falling. This should make sure scion wood is dormant:grinning:
-6.6F when i woke up this morning… today may have a hard time getting much past the 0F mark. At least the sun is out.
Pretty cold this morning at -4F. Looking forward to warmer weather!!

11 degrees on my thermometer in the front yard and still dropping, gonna get cold tonight!
1 degree tonight In Chicago suburb…
Brrrrrrr…
Do you think your trees will get enough chill hours, lol?
I think this year has had an amazing amt of chill hours…lots of time spent in the 30Fs the last few months… I really only worry about peaches/nectarines when the temps drop -10F or lower… i have some peach grafts out there that worry me a little.
Rabbits have been doing a ton of damage. I forgot to fence a tree and it’s toast. Luckily nothing major because i’ll hopefully get the rootstock to send out new shoots. The top is a goner unless i want to bridge graft. They also wiped out a bunch of apple rootstock i have out there. They leave the older trees alone unless they can get at the low hanging branches…
Had the same thing happen to me also. The crows were at him this pm, someone ran over him this morning!!
I’ve got to be evil because i smile whenever i see roadkill rabbits or squirrels 
Looks like more cold air coming mid week (single digit highs) and then another shot of cold air this weekend that should spread to the east coast and give those folks a nice chill.
Peter’s Honey fig-- showing some leg!
Very excited to get this variety of fig to root. A much sought after addition to my collection.
I am hoping it will do well in pot culture here. It has the potential to produce some beautiful brebas as well as main-crop figs.

Very nice! Someday i would like to try figs.
The forecast looks horrible…although after this next shot it looks to change into a more mild pattern for some time.

We had temps in the high 40’s today, Sun. below zero for high.
Looks like it’d be good for ice fishing. Brady
Ugly cold front heading towards Omaha. Sunday and Monday nights will drop to -8F.

Tony-
Get through this and it looks to turn very mild. GFS even shows a shot at 50F or better in the long range for Omaha.

The whole country looks to turn mild to finish out Jan. I’m sure the polar air will be back in Feb.
Thanks Rob, 1-28-16 in the 50’s sounds nice.

Its grey sky territory here in New England. Newport, is cloudy and grey and quiet. Actually it is lovely, peaceful and calm. The wide boulevard is empty this time of year which is like a gigantic sigh of relief from summer tourists. It finally got down into the twenties, but back up into the forties during the day. We had our first light ‘dusting’ of snow two days ago and nothing since. I’ll finish putting up my netting (fencing) this weekend. So far, so good, but no snow. The chill hours are coming right along though, thats good. My trees seem to love a hard freeze.
