We've had a lot of rain, and especially cool temps this past week. Most figs have been insipid, watery. The two varieties that really tasted good and did not split were vibo Valencia (kubota1) and moscatel preto. The moscatel Preto is absolutely excellent. It usually contains a drop of honey from the ostiole. The one in the photo was picked too early, but I just couldn't wait. Upon proper ripening, they are really tough to beat.

I know all about picking them too early, in most cases, it's either me or the birds:) These are beautiful figs. Congratulations!

Glad to hear Moscatel Preto is performing well this year. Last year, I only got to sample a couple ripening at the very tail end of the season, and they not surprisingly were pretty mediocre. Those look fantastic.
