Alex:The answer is yes.
The fig needs warmer nights,(over 50),to, Keep growing.
Here in NJ,this Spring was COOLER,than other years.
My figs are not growing eather.
They are in the same position as yours.
Also My Tomatoes are in grownd,since 5ft.of May and they did not grow one inch.
Reason:They are hot season plants and they will not grow if nights are cooler than 50F.
Do not worry:If weather warms up they will accelerate the growth,and will get where they suppose to be.
Best Regards

Thats a releif!

Thanks.

No wonder Tomatoes are NOT growing in NJ! (have not planted
mine yet)... May 20, and my house heat is coming up as I
write! T will only 'shoot-up' when it hits 80*+ F, save
you money, and do not buy the 'much more bigger/expensive'
T. plants, will not make much difference.

Global warming?!? Not sure...

I don't remember so much rain and cold this time of year. My Tom. plants are in 4 inch pots on my deck, about a foot high but too cold and wet to plant in the ground. Hope my potted figs don't drown. They are sure taking a beating.

we had a frost warning 2 nights ago. I heard about it at 12:30 (11 pm news re-cast). I decided it was too late/cold to get up and move plants at that time. We only hit 36 degrees that night, though.

I've got one tomato in the ground right now, I'll wait til june to plant the rest.

With tomatoes you have to take a chance and plant them close to the last frost day. In zone 5 Ottawa this is the traditional frost free week and people have rushed to plant veges. However, I have planted tomatoes, cukes, zuchini and hot peppers a week ago and they are thriving. I would not mention Bitter-melons in case Cecil reads this. The cayenne pepper have flowers already. If frost hit them (though low probability) it can be replaced easily. Though I have heard that late planting of veges in warm weather overtakes the early planting or at least catch-up very easily.
Figs are different story. Delay of fig growth is not good for soul.

Ottowan....

I know what you mean. Our (average) last frost day was (supposed to be) 5/12, though I have found its not always wise to plant tomatoes until I'm almost out of school. I'm not likely to win any "first tomato" challenges, but by the beginning/middle of July fresh local tomatoes are pretty easy to come by anyway.

I do try to get a cherry tomato in the ground as early as possible as they tend to produce pretty quickly and ripen fast as well.

You're right about the cold stopping growth on our figs as not being good for the soul. I have one fig that had its top two leaves burned that night, the rest seem unfazed (and not growing).

On the bright side, I did have a stubborn cutting finally show some rooting (its been in perlite since Feb). I'm going to leave it in the perlite for another week before moving it into a quart pot and (hopefully) moving it outside into my baby fig area.

Same results from Albuquerque. My figs are quite stagnant and slow growing. Some potted ones are still dormant! The weather has been bad and variable with night temps below 50 lately. I'm relieved to hear it isn't just me.

This year weather has been awful for figs. We are at least a month behind with the nice warm heat. However my friend had a unheated homemade greenhouse & boy that made me jealous when I saw the size of the figs & the leafing. It is a must have for me to get a green house in time for early fall weather to prolong the season.
