Hi Martin,

The Dark Portugese is very good this year, definitely improving with age. Kathleen's Black has a unique taste, even though it was the first fig from that tree the taste difference from all of my other figs is very noticeable,  stronger and different. Very rewarding to finally taste one of the premium figs out there and it was my favorite. Bissiri Dark, while very small figs are also very sweet and tasty. Tiger was actually the sweetest. In other words no bad figs in the bunch!! I do have many white figs growing too, but this day, only dark ones ripened. It was a Martin day here in Philly   

Really nice figs there.....a very nice collection...yummy

LOL Martin, ok I do like dark figs, but my collection is wholly integrated. I'll post as they ripen.

Martin is speaking in riddles.
I think he is wanting to come out of the dark side and show us his real true love for the white figs.

It's o.k. Martin,
We will give you all the support that you may need. I will even give you a couple of my rare white figs.

Just say it and they will be in the mail tomorrow. How much longer do you want to suffer my dear friend?

A rare white fig what Picasso painted figs ?

No,They are what I have in the backyard.

A polite no i decline Rafed.

Paint a couple good white ones dark and overnight them to him Rafed

I passed Psy 101 and am with Rafed on this one.
It's OK Martin, you will still be the forum's Fonzi even though you like some light figs.
