Fig picking is over for me

Today I picked the last 2 ripe figs from my 3yr old tree.  We were lucky to eat every fig that appeared this year, which was 20 total. Two of those were brebas.  We're a family of 4 and although we'd split 1 fig into 4 slices, it was worth seeing my wife and 2 & 4 year old enjoy and ask for more each time!  I'm hopeful that next year will bring us at least double the figs, as I've planted several more trees this year.  I had to remove lots of late blooming figs since they wouldn't have matured in time, so that makes me hopeful that the new trees will produce a good crop next year.  Here's to no frost damage this winter!

Good luck in the coming year!  It's getting winter, and we are just ending summer!  AC is still ON!!

I know exactly how you feel. My daughter had never tried fresh figs until this summer. Heck, I hadn't eaten any since I was little. Now we can't wait till more are growing next year.

Same here, Frank. We got about 8 or 9 from 1st year trees. Monday get a few more. Hoping for many more next year.
