Here's a Black Greek that's starting to ripen.  This will be my first time tasting a Black Greek, though it will be the second one to have ripened.  The first one fell, rolled down into the water, and was promptly devoured by some young tilapia (they love fruits and veggies).  I'm guessing this one probably needs another week or so before it's ready.

 

I've also been picking some Hardy Chicago figs recently, but they've been pretty tasteless.  The one below had a tiny bit of sweetness, maybe scoring a 4/10 compared to a summer-ripened fruit:


 
 

And just for fun, here's a video of my tilapia at lunchtime:

Yeah at summer they are much sweeter. Now we are having a heat wave and the figs that need 2-3 days taste good. Not excellent but I cannot wait for them.

Nice! I could so use a fresh fig about now :)

The Black Greek looks nice.

A pocket or sling made from the foot of a panty hose or knee high hose tied around the branch would keep that beautiful fig from feeding the tilapia again.  :)
Loved watching the fish lunch time, we used to take the kids down to the docks at the lake and throw out fish food.  Good memory, thank you!

Good idea, Marie, don't want this one to get away :)

Another reason I'm excited to try it is that it's about 2" in diameter and probably weighs twice as much as any of my Hardy Chicago or MBVS figs, and maybe 3 or 4 times as much as my 1st year VdB's.  I have a much bigger Black Greek plant growing in-ground in another greenhouse, hopefully it'll be laden with even bigger figs this season.
