My Monster Figs

I had to pick these monsters because of all the rain we are getting! My wife calls Long Yellow "Figasaurus".

Long Yellow - 175 grams

Gorgeous :)

Oh my...Vito, you sure those aren't pears?
:)

Congrats Vito, now these are some gorgeous Figs! I can not believe the size of them! Keep the photos coming! Thanks for posting these beautiful photos!

Nice looking figs Vito!

Very nice Vito

Wow, Vito, and I thought Rob's GN was big. You need silver dollar in the photo instead of a quarter.

Wow, the figs I picked in my unknown were 16 & 20 grams, lol.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice! Because of the drought , mine were much smaller this year but still the Long Yellow and California Brown Turkey were very large too.
How did you like the LY taste?
It was pure honey for me since they dehydrated on the branches a little .

Vito,

Congratulations!
These are big.

Love the pic with all 3 being held at once.

Very nice and I don't have any of those in my collection. Must add them to my wish list.

Hi Vito, Your getting me hungry. Looks like a good year for you. That makes me happy.
Say hello to your bro.
Lou

Wow,congrats vito. Super figs..
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Vito-

Still remember eating the  fig cookies that you baked and brought to Tim's Fig Fest, a few years back.  It was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife.

Just curious.....

1-   Do these three varieties /usually/consistently produce large-sized figs, or, are you having an unusually good fig season, for your climate and growing conditions?
2-   How was the quality of these figs, taste-wise?  You mentioned that you had to pick them because of all the rain, and I sure hope the figs weren't washed out....

In any event, I really loved looking at those monster figs.  The "Long Yellow" really looks like a nice variety.

Good luck and may you harvest continue to yield good things to eat.

Those are some of the largest figs I have ever seen, Congrats! Whats your secret? :)

Big figs make nice pictures but I've never eaten one that I liked. All my best figs are medium to small size.

That's absolutely stunning

Thank you all for the nice comments.
@ Igor, just like you said, pure honey.

@ Lou, nice to hear from you. I'll see my Brother tomorrow.

@ Frank, those always produce large figs. This has been the best year yet, it's been hot and dry except the last two days, rain rain and more rain. If Tim has another gathering I'll bake some fig cookies.

@ Steve, I'm sorry.

Vito

Hi Vito,

Thanks Vito !!!!


Frank
