Our temperature in March is running 50 to 70 and mostly sunny. I wheel my Figs out on the Drive way to enjoy this sun and temperature. I check the night temperature if it is under 40 I get them in the Garage. The Garage temperature usually runs 40 and over. If the Night temperature is 40 and over I leave over night on the Drive way even if it rains. I am trying to give them a head start and it causing for me and my woman some inconvenience because we have to park our cars on the street. I am getting some silent treatment because I am selfesh and taking the drive way away from her. By the way she eats more of the ripe figs than me.
