two Calvert and 3 VdB. one of the Calvert was really good.. but didn't have the tartness i was looking for. only one of the VdB was good, rest of them were bland.

but they make purty pix... all blown up to kingdom come.

Thats too bad all that rain your getting .

watery figs are perfect for broiling.  They'll lose some of that extra water.

I am deeply sick of the rain.  It's not just the figs, but the incredible fungal diseases everywhere now.  Just about everything Rosacae except the pears and loquat (cross my fingers) are totally blighted and losing leaves.  I picked a few of the early Petite Negri today, these are small, and they all have very tight eyes, and none of them were spoiled, thank goodness.  PN seems much more resistant to splitting than VdB--it takes an incredible amount of rain to get them to do that.  However, the taste were fairly bland, dry, with only a bit of perky tart-sweet.  I picked them early, but there just wasn't the heat and dry such figs need.

not sure broiling will help. it wasn't watery. it was fairly dry.. just lacking taste. took one of the VdB that was split open for my wife. she enjoyed that one. that one, per my wife, had raspberry taste that other were missing.
