Improved Celeste, main crop. I waited almost 4 days since they turned color before picking (and devouring). I think they would have lasted another day on the tree, but no matter. They were good, sweet and sugary. I still prefer berry flavors in a fig. But nice to have main crop in July. I did cheat with about a month in the greenhouse in April.

Nice work. I've thought about trying to get a jump with Improved Celeste next year, maybe in a green frame, cross between a cold frame and a green house.Tony WV 6b

A makeshift plan, currently. I have some polycarbonate panels on hand, enough to make a space that I could duck in and out of, abutting the house at back and garage on one side, making for a two-sided lean-to green frame. My concern is moisture from any humidity getting under the wood paneling of the house, and also potentially attracting critters to the protected space in winter.
