I wanted to show my little harvest of figs after an historical heatwave here, six days above 80°F/26,6°C with a maximum of 83°F/28°C last sunday. The weather has been very weird this year, with a very hot spring to start, april was 10°F/5°C higher than average, very sunny! Summer was lousy, very cool, grey and wet. And now this incredible heatwave! 100 years old heat records were exploded by 10°F/5°C. Some places on the north coast of Brittany recorded 87°F/30,8°C the first of october where usually they barely get 70°F/20°C in high summer!!! Ronde de Bordeaux was good, sweet and figgy, Osborne was watery and tasteless just a bit sweet. The best one was Grise de Saint Jean, subtle, sweet and figgy. Here are some pics of my harvest Ronde de Bordeaux sweet and tasty Grise de Saint Jean sweeling and Osborne prolific Osborne and RDB inside __________________ Yves Crozon peninsula, Western Brittany Z9b

Your weather this year sounds just like ours in San Diego - early spring, cool summer, and pretty warm last week. Nice looking figs. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere
