What do you get when you have constant temperature over 90 degrees and 4 straight days of rain showers!  FIGS!!!!  This bowl is half full and  this is my first stop in my orchard.  The rain showers were coming and the ants were moving to higher ground and the figs were ripe!  In this bowl are Celeste, Improved Celeste, Kadota, Italian Black, Atreano, White Greek, Hardy Chicago, Excel, Gino's Black, Conadria, Black Triana, Noire de Caromb, Tacoma Voilet, VdB, Marseilles Black VS, Byadi, Black Celeste, Weeping fig, Beall, Stella, Paradiso, Black Mission, Cartengena Negra, Black Greek, Chico Strawberry. 

I made one case of Heavenly Fig Jam and one case of Vanilla Fig jam.  Enjoy!

Loooks yummy!! Congrats!! Which was your top five?

Looks great! 

Your so blessed Dennis.I wish I was there helping you out eating them figs.

ive got to ask: whats the deal wkth tne clothes pins

Dennis, what a great looking treat. You're one lucky fella. I wish I was a little closer as I'd drop in for a visit just in case you need some help pickin' and eating. I'll be in your neighborhood but not until late September. I may still drop in if it's alright.

I assume the clothes pins were for holding wraps to hide the figs from the birds.

Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks!  The clothes pin were used to hold the coffee filter on certain ripening figs.  The birds were testing the figs and the coffee filters kept them from seeing them.  

The top 5 were Hardy Chicago, Marseilles Black, Excel, Celeste, Atreano.

Or newspaper.
