I can't wait to get figs from my Dr. Gowaty. Thanks for the great pics, Charles.

Charles,
Excellent photographs. I can taste those figs. I truly appreciate how you allow your figs to get dead ripe and the pulp bleeds through the pith to the skin. No, I love that. Please remind us of how you are protecting your figs? Cat, dog, net, air power, gun powder, all of the above, or other? Whatever you are doing, it is worth sharing. Keep posting.

PS. Will you please post a few photos of your O'Rourke tree and leaves?

Fig art at its best....those look amazing....thanks for sharing

JD,

I sent you an email earlier about the fig trees and veggie seeds I need to send your way.

I'll post some pictures of my O'Rourke tree tomorrow. I got it from Dalton a whole back.

I use organza bags to protect the figs. Obviously I don't use them on every fig :). However, if I have some varieties I want to let ripen really well or not enough of that cultivar to share with the birds, I slip a bag over the figs and cinch them up. I got them off eBay a few years back. They're quite cheap. The birds don't poke at them either. Unfortunately, the birds have started to adapt. About two weeks ago, I noticed a few figs that were in organza bags went missing. So now after cinching the bags, I would tie it to a limb. The next day I was in the pool house and saw a Bluejay on my Scott's Yellow tree. He untied the double knot, pried the fig off the tree and flew away with the fig still in the bag! Gotta give it to the little fella, he's got good taste. ;).

All the best,
Charles

Thanks so much for putting this together.  I grow in Florida, so this information is helpful. 

Once again, GREAT Pics!!! Cant wait to get some of these varieties and try them!!!

All I can say is WOW. I really hope I manage enough patience to let my figs shrivel that much!

Just an update of some photos I've taken the last few days. I've been out of town for a few weeks, so the birds sure did get their fill!

The season continues to be far superior to last season. However, the rain has started showing up more frequently.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful growing season!

All the best,
Charles

Fantastic pictures, eatmoreyeah! Thanks for sharing - It's really nice to see the ripened figs on the trees - like walking through your garden with you!
Picking a dozen fresh Black Madeira daily? I wish I had THAT to deal with, not to mention everything else you've got going on :) Malta Black keeps calling to me in all it's strawberry-jammy glory! And I was assuming black pepper when I saw "Pepper Fig Jelly", but Jalapeno's + Figs = Take a Walk on the Wild Side!!!
Keep them coming & Keep Growing,

Great pics Thanks

A nice and rich show of delicious figs!
Congrats

Francisco

Well done, sir!

Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Thanks for sharing the photos and recipe. Your figs look amazing. 

Eatmoreyeah,
  That is just simply inspirational.  Definitely the situation we noobies should strive for...
Cheers,

Great pictures and good inventory and probably somewhere with fig heaven climate since it shows even Black Madeira already ripened.

Great photos and what a display of delicious figs.
Is the Natalina a breba?

Wow Charles, You've got me wanting to go visit you across town. I wish I had been as successful, but I know you put in the time to make it so.
