FP is ripening now. had one yesterday. that thing was different. very good, but little different from other dark figs. 

also had Calvert. that thing could have been very good. still had juicy pulp inside, firm but ripen. but i think there were too much rain. 

LdA is very nice also, but with last month raining so much, if i don't time it right, it's all wasp food. 

Persian White was huge. but rather bland. not sure if it's too much rain, so was 187-25. 

GN was so so.. nothing super. now it's behaving properly, and the fig is turning out ok. still not as dark as i have been them. 

JHA was very good, still have some left on the tree. waiting for Black Madeira to start ripening. 

oh.. Panache was really good. 

Hi Pete,

Glad to read yout fig report with a lot of great varieties and doing fine.
Been missing your updates.

Good reports, please keep them coming.

Good to hear from you Pete.  I'm still waiting on my my Figo Preto and Black Madeira figs to get ripe - will post when they do.  Speaking of wasps, I got four yellow jacket stings on Sunday and then discovered I have a nest in the backyard.  I have a plan this evening to take care of the nest - wish me luck!

Nice report. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see you back Pete.

francisco, 

thanks. still under some stress and keep slipping back, but doing whole lot better. trying to stay away from internet as much as possible so i can sleep little more and drink little less. lol

steve, 

Figo Preto was very different taste. it's not like typical dark fig that i've been eating for last handful of yrs. it has certain something that i can't put finger on, but was definitely something to look forward to. if the weather holds up, i think i should be able to have good number of FP and BM. 

also had one Ischia Black and Nero 600M. but they weren't really up there. it's been raining 4 days or so here. lost a fig off Barnissotte to rain so didn't taste that one. since i didn't pay too much attention this yr, now i have more unintentional unknowns that i really want to. 

wills, 

glad to be back. :) 

here is a shot of Calvert. 

 

Pictures of Panachee please? I love Preto, to me what is different about it is a hint of smoke or salt amid the sweetness. Welcome back, hope you are well.

 nice report.
Thanks

I am glad to see you visiting us again. your picture as usual, very beautiful. I have a couple of calvert grafted on adriatic... I am anxious to see what happens to them, maybe next year I can report.

Welcome back!  I'm glad you're enjoying some figs.

Glad to see you posting again, Pete.  That's a delicious looking pic of Calvert, BTW.
