Electri-fig-ation

I'm so glad. After all we've shared over the years, I needed to know we could make it work.

I have so much respect for you and what you do. :)
 
@TorontoJoe damn jealous you having that dough mixer

It's older than I am. But it was built in North America, to last. From my fathers first bakery from many years ago. I did a total restoration. I gave it an annual oil change two weeks ago...... It takes a monograde SAE 50 in the three speed transmisison. Thick stuff.

I have the front hub attachments for #12 and #24 meat grinders. I grind directly into the big bowl then mix the meat below, before sutffing.... But yeah, I make dough also. I have the dough hook, whisk and two paddles.
 
Here are imagees from today of my in ground fig trees that where winter protected using electrification 😀.
I wasn't able to convert the previous images.
I an happy that it work, no damage at all, and as a bonus there are some breba figs in all of them, not to many.
With Dalmatie, I am trying for espalier, I know it looks very bad, but hopefully I will learn to control it.
Last season I left new branches to see is I can make it to put on some breba, well there are 4 of them, I thing it is waste of time. I will prune it for main crop for next season.

@TorontoJoe what’s your progress on your ingrounds. Just trying to compare. Are you going to remove the tent any time soon? Weather is getting close to having trees full time outdoors, looks like mid May we’re reaching double digits ☀️. My inground just waking up lot of excitement on my inground. 😀

Just breaking bud. It’s a bit later every year. I was just looking at those soil heating cables again today. I have to wake them up earlier. I’ve been trying to think of a good way to do it but still have a backup if they fail. I think I came up with something. I’ll be posting about it soon

My tree is definitely waking up and I made sure to put a early fig. Hope the Bryant dark gives me loads of figs this season. My inground is currently 5 feet tall 😀. I wrap it up at night then expose during the day.
