I am awash with delicious figs! Even the birds can't seem to keep up. A dry spell during the perfect time has allowed me to enjoy buckets of my Brunswick-type fig for the first time without spoiling, and the frankenfig is loaded with figs of the rootstock and those grafts that survived from last year, and even several of the 30-35 varieties grafted this spring, with several other new grafts loaded but not yet ripe! THis is the first year I have not been able to keep up each day eating them as they ripen on the tree. I guess I need to learn to do something with them like canning. Next year, bird netting, I swear. . . I hope everyone else is as deliriously figgy as me!

I'll step out right now and snap some pics and put them into the original thread. Ironically it is now sprinkling, so the remaining Brunswick are likely to all spoil today.
