| In Z5, north of Syracuse, NY, your garaged overwintering container blueberries begin leaf out on March 4th. Time for me to get with the program! Tomorrow looks to be a nice day to give them some sunshine. Not today......current temp. is 23F. |

| Al once called this the blueberry two-step. Good luck keeping them from a frost. My nectarine and peach mini trees both budded in my unheated, windowless garage last week. I took them outside for a couple of days, now they are in the laundry room (does that count as 1 two-step or 2 steps). The forecast for the rest of the week is warm. The peony trees and figs are breaking dormancy too. It was never below 0 at my house (Zone 5). red_chucks |

| had something growing year round this year. 365 and counting. going for 730... kind of ridiculous really. im not complaining much though. i think we had 8-10 days below freezing this winter |

| Not container plants, but all my fruit trees in the yard are having buds swell up WAY too early. I hope we don't get any late frosts or I won't get much fruit this year. |

| They're outside now. Yeah, I'll definitely be doing the second half of the two-step later today, putting them back in the garage. Possible record warmth tomorrow! |
