Thanks for the new thread!

Weather forecast from Weather.gov:

Sunny and hot, with a high near 103. Heat index values as high as 108. South southwest wind 7 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Hate to heat up the house, but probably a good day to can tomatoes.

Provided they have water the fig trees are doing just fine in this heat! ( Note....I do not use any black pots. Over 100 degrees F results in potting medium of > 130 degrees and even figs do not do well with that! White pots? 115 degrees. Mine are also subwatered and have a 1 1/2 gallon reservoir. )

In my new coastal North Carolina location I have two fig trees that are 12’ wide and 12’ tall. What to do with a daily harvest of 30 to 50 figs? They only last about 48 hours fresh
