I repotted more than half of the tomato seedlings.

More Fig Tree Air Layers. 27 Apr 24.
After looking at various websites, some say one-year old wood is suitable got air layering fig trees, while others say three to four year old wood will work. No harm in trying older branches as well.
So I set up an air layer on Lattarula on what looks like three or four year old wood, and the same for Violette de Bordeaux. I also set up an air layer of Violette de Bordeaux, on first year growth.
The Lattarula is full of brebas now. I removed the brebas from the branches that I air layered.
I decided with the last couple of air layers, to use string for fastening the Aluminum foil. One of the web pages I consulted (forgot which one ) recommended that to allow for inspecting for root growth.
Now it's a matter of time. A month, two months?
Weather. 27 Apr 24.
Not a lot can go on in this weather. Generally, raining a lot, Mid 49s during the night. Mid 50s during the day.
My main concerns are that some plants will stall or rot.
Still, there's a lot to do, indoors and out.
Some things seem to like this weather. Roses are growing nicely. Figs are developing. The garlic looks great.
The Four O'Clocks seem happier planted outside now, than getting TLC in containers and brought inside at night.
