Figs by the Pool Grabbing Some Rays

[FMD]

Hopefully they will get a deep tan and dry out.

Nice Picture!... What variety of fig?

[FMD]

The lowly Celeste.

[rusty hooks]

You came home to a pleasant surprise....congrats

[FMD]

Thanks Ross. I should not have eaten any figs in France, though. Celestes compare so poorly with the French figs, that it is discouraging to think what we are missing here in the States.

[rusty hooks]

maybe one day...it would seem we are all on a quest here...

[COGardener]

So. ... note to self. Don't eat figs in Europe then come home and eat figs due to substantial disappointment! !

got it.

Thanks Frank.

Welcome home, nice "HAUL" of disappointing American Celeste figs.

[FMD]

LOL. That is quite a quandary, Scott... to sample figs in Europe and be forever disappointed in our own figs or to remain blissfully ignorant of what we are missing.

[COGardener]

Well..... since you put it that way. ...

[Rafaelissimmo]

Lowly? Those are better than any crap in the supermarkets, and we call them lowly? What's wrong with you? Lol

[Rafaelissimmo]

Better than Brown Turkey at least, right?

[FMD]

Those are two pretty low bars, Raf.
Having recently visited Europe yourself , you have got to agree with my thesis to at least a certain degree, no?

[Rafaelissimmo]

Of course Frank, I do agree.

[jmaler]

Actually those look pretty yummy to me. I am having a lean fig crop year.

[COGardener]

I'm with you Jerry, my two ripening Hardy Chicagos..... the tree aborted. .. no idea why

[Harborseal]

Better still is to make the French figs your own!

[COGardener]

I second that motion!

[FMD]

One day under the sun and they are starting to dry out pretty well, so a second tray was set up this morning.

[FMD]

[Harborseal]

That's alotta figs.

You're gonna need a bigger recliner.

No insect protection?

[FMD]

None needed, so far.
