BTW, I bought figs at the grocery store. $5 for two big packages of them.(My fig trees still haven't produced)
My Redfoot love those things.
Not very sweet and tiny seeds. Perfect.
OMG!!! I LOOOOOVE fresh figs!!! :):):)
I've got 2 fig trees that aren't very big, but they make very nice figs. The variety, "Celeste" is an old variety that does well in our hot, humid climate. These types of figs have been grown down here since the 1800s.
Unfortunately, the BIRDS love our figs too! The first year ours were bearing, I covered them with netting to keep the birds out. But some poor mockingbird got caught up in the net. I felt terribly badly for it, released it an removed the netting.

So now July brings the "Fig Contest" between me and the birds! I check the figs 2-3 times daily: both inspecting for color and splitting; but the FEEL of them tells you they're ripe. Unfortunately, the birds are willing to eat them before they're exactly ripe, but I like mine PERFECTLY rip and sweet! This year I got 2 figs! :( :p :):):)

But it's all good: I enjoy watching the birds in the tree. I even saw a fledgling mockingbird follow its parent to the tree, so the ongoing generations will be against me as well.
