This week in East TN....I'm having to water things....I mean, I'm enjoying the sunshine , BUT, will the figs that got froze last week start to wake up again ?

Same for WNC. I'm just quickly showering them especially the pots that look dry.

I water my plants twice daily because we are in the upper 80s despite the cold snap that put them just under 32F last week.

And I have been harvesting daily since.

So, it depends on how cold it got last week for your location.

it got down into the 20's for two nights, then started this upward thing, and now it pretty much looks like this most days. In the upper 30's last night. It was cold enough to kill all my fruit and bit everything pretty hard.

I seen 30 this morning riding to work. It was around 34-36 at the house.

If you don't see any break above 60F in the coming weeks, just let it go dormant gradually and cut down on watering in cold weather.

I think it hit 70 today

Plants are usually active in 70s weather. When in doubt, I usually lift the pots to check the weight. In 70s weather, they need to be properly hydrated. If you get yo-yo weather, it is a tough call but generally, I don't leave the pot too dry or too wet.

Above average temps in PNW, only had one frost so far....
