I was fortunate to compare these figs one after another. Valle Negra took the win today. Rob's Genovese Nero was bland, but one I had the other day tasted better. I'm sure they'll improve. Here are tonight's ratings. Rob's GN - 6/10 Violette de Bordeaux - 8/10 Valle Negra - 9/10 Gino Black - 8.5/10 Salem Dark - 8.5/10 __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Those look delicious Frank! Awesome photos! The Valle Negra looks like it has really thin skin, just the way I like them! __________________ Vince Russo Norwalk, CT Zone 7A Wish list - Any cuttings of the Col de Dames would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
