First homegrown fig: Italian Honey

I wasn't expecting much for my first season growing figs, but 3 of my plants have figlets growing on them.  I just had my first fig today: an Italian Honey fig.  It must have been a breba since it formed a few months before most of my current figlets.  It was mildly sweet and moist with a light seed crunch.  I wasn't super impressed, but my wife liked it.  I assume the fruit will get better with a more mature plant and better weather (it ripened right in the midst of rain and a cool spell).  Oddly enough, my fruit-loving 3 y.o. wouldn't touch the fig.  I guess it looked too alien to him.

Looks good, Johnny. They will definitely get much better. With all of the rain and the mild temps( coupled with its young age), the fruit really isn't representative of what it will be like in the future. Good luck with the rest this season! Stop by sometime, too.

Congrats on your 1st homegrown fig.

Congratulations:)  Will just get better from here.
