I am thinking of trying something next Spring. My figs never produce
more than a handful of fruit because it seems they need about a month
more warm weather than they get here. I'm wondering if I built a cold
frame over them in the Spring if I could perhaps warm the soil and get
them started growing a month earlier. Does anyone do this? thanks.


I haven't done that because I don't have the problem but it sounds like an
idea worth trying to me if it is not going to be too expensive. *How big
would the cold frame have to be?



Something like a 4ft diameter circle for each plant.
