This was a little nice (well-deseved) treat as an after
BQ-dinner (on this labour-day) as a desert enjoyed with my family...

Please correct me if I'm wrong I think I see a fig with my name on it!!

No Sal's here!

Turning this into a 'fig-fun' question, you-all try to name (id)
them 9 figs in the pic...

Start (clockwise) at 12 o'clock (noon).

Looks like Edible #1, Edible #2, Edible #3, Edible #4, Edible #5, Edible #6, Edible #7, Edible #8, and Edible #9. ;-))

Very funny.

Hi gorgi
You were rewarded on Labour Day for the labour of love that went into these figs to bring it to the stage of Edible #1, Edible #2, Edible #3, -------------- Edible #n.

Today, a tripple-9 (BD) date is a special date to me.
Here is a list of them 9 edibles:

Royal Vineyard(qty=1), Armenian(2), Blue Celeste(3),
Negretta(2), Golden Celeste(2 - 1 spun off to centre),
Pastiliere(2), Conadria(2), Hardy Chicago(4) & Malta (2).

Top sweetest were Blue Celeste (notice the shriveled skin) and HC (small figs).

Bottom were RV (it probably needed another day to ripen)
and  Armenian - a very MOODY fig, the split one  was sweet(!);
while the other one was very still unripe (and thrown-away);
2 other previous ones (maybe over-ripe) tasted as cardboard
- one problem with this fig, is that it is very hard to know the right time to pick it...
(both the RV/ARM are large figs).
