home sweet dead trees

I guess when you go away for a month, and during that time SoCal sets record high temps, there's a good chance that your fig-twig and avocado-in-a-pot might not survive.
Thanks to H, I now have a new reference for growing stuff on a patio. Perhaps there will be some improvement? Currently I'm just hoping that with some water my poor little trees will return to life, even if it is a sad and pathetic one.
