The main crop figs are coming on strong. While waiting here is what some of my breba figs looked like for 2016;
It has been a tough year for 1st crop figs due to the extended heat 25 days of + 30C with no rain (May-July). Many brebas dried up and dropped and many of the ones that ripened did not match the quality of last year.
First to ripen around July 4 were 3 Petite Negri and a Sicilian Red followed by Portugal Dark and Fico Bianco. They were OK but not great the heat took its toll. They were not juicy, sweet a la raisins except the Sicilian red was juicy and nice. The 3 Capelas Azores were a little juicy but only slightly sweet and little taste.
On the bright side were the Red Sicilian, Desert King and Black Sicilian. These figs were full of flavor and very sweet with the Sicilian Red tasting the best of this bunch.
Enjoy the photos and comments welcome.
