Hi Martin.  That is pretty amazing, having figs this late in the season.

I used to live up there, and I've seen snow by now some years.

Hope your winter is short and next year is your best season ever.

Best wishes.

Martin,
I still have 3 VdB figs hanging on my tree ,but tonight was so windy so I brought all my figs to garage for winter storage.
I would kept them longer outdoors ,but this Thursday I`m going to Europe for 2 weeks so figs will be safer in garage.
My Martin`s unknown you gave me had only 4 figs left on tree and those was formed after I trimmed tree about 2 months ago (not after 1st pinching) so I can call it did ripend all figs this year :)
The last figs taste very bad,no sweetnes at all.In my expirence best tasting figs are the figs that ripens when it is hot and synny.

Hi Remis,
 I sent you a pm.
