Nate, you can also confess to being Portuguese! :)

Portuguese no fundo, mue amigo!  Good to hear from you, Harvey.

Here are the photos from today's pick. I don't know the name of the variety.


  

Welcome, Camacho. Those are beautiful figs!

Welcome,
I have a small Quinta in San Marthino............are you far?
I am going over in September, would be good to see what your doing and vice versa.

Camacho,

That dark fig looks very nice.
I am not sure but the most popular figs in Alentejo seem to be all local varieties grown for many years but names are not easily identified.

The Centro de Hortofruticultura da Escola Superior Agrária de Beja did apparently start in the recent past, experimenting several cultivars to assess the potential for commercial growers but never saw the results.

I wonder if they have any support literature to help farmers to identify and select the best figs for the area.
