Hello.

Not only is this my first fig tasting of the year but my first tasting of home grown figs.

The figs are a Ronde de Bordeaux and a dark Unk. The RDB had started to wrinkle pretty good so I picked them and the Unk had many skin tears and was soft.

They both tasted great and I'm looking forward to the years to come to sample more types of figs.

Its very hard taking pictures of figs, need better lighting.
