Three days of no rain, and temperatures in the 80's.
So taste tested the following; Hardy Chicago, Hardy Hartford, Marseilles Black VS, Sal's EL, and Danny's Delight. It has been raining here since August 8th., and only stopped three days ago. So, was surprise that it only took three days of nice weather to bring the figs to the point were they were once again good tasting
# 1. Hardy Hartford - Taste like sweet, soft fig candy, dense, excellent tasting fruit.
# 2. Sal's EL - Nice and sweet. It's a keeper.
# 3. Marseilles Black VS - Good taste - but not as rich as Hardy Hartford.
# 4. Hardy Chicago - okay. But not as good tasting as earlier. Plus, I think it needed to stay on tree a little longer.
# 5. Danny's Delight - Okay - But has only fruited for the first time this year. So, may be better next year.
