I'm trying to update my fig inventory. I think I can say with reasonable certainty who survived winter and who did not so I am going through, composting some, updating labels, and taking updated pics to show progress of the surviving trees. Lots more to do tomorrow.

This is Shih Berdy. She gave me a breba early in the season but didn't hold it. Young, small tree so not a shocker. But look at all these main crop figs on such a small plant. This tree really wants to reproduce. Shame they won't ripen in my climate. I am looking forward to this tree maturing.
 

Another tree I have been excited about is Madeleine of 2 Seasons - I got this tree last year from raintree nursery and this is her first year bearing fruit. Four brebas, one I tried a few days ago but needed more time. I tried another today but I proved myself to be impatient, again. Needed a 1-3 more days. It was tasteless without much sugar, more time wouldn't have changed that much. I expect these things from a young tree. But it had nice seed crunch, which I like, and the skin was soft. I hope it improves enough to be worth keeping over the years.
 

This is the breba I harvested today - not ready. Sadie came in to sniff it as I was photographing it. Not posed, and when I told her to leave it she did. She's obedient. Just curious. 
 

 

 

I just like this picture. This is an unknown spanish fig. The pups posed themselves. It was a relaxing evening. I'm so glad we moved. I love sitting on this covered porch, listening to the birds, watching the dogs chase vermin in the yard. Gotta love terriers. My puppy eats the mice...
 

Hope everyone is having a good summer
