I was laying out the cutting board and realized how many Mount Etna types I had today so I went and picked a couple more that probably were not ready. I am not going to rank them, just going to say the Winner today were us and my son and daughter in law. The yellow jackets/wasps are killing me but I will take them over SWD spotted wing drosophila any day. I can often still enjoy part of a wasp initiated eat. I hope the SWD don’t hit me later like last year. I would have Gino's Black, Attilio Purple, and Black Bethlehem today as well the below other possible Mount Etna types but I didn’t have one the wasps did not damage. Other mixed in as well.
I picked 2 of everything for the pic’s except where noted 1 in the legend. The bottom is lined with 3 different Celeste. 2 just came as Celeste one labeled Blue Celeste and one lone not ripe Florea I knocked off to the right
That behemoth Golden Riverside I have been eyeing for days. 1st fig ever for me swelled up huge on a 18 inch young plant and still not softened up, has a big open eye and the wasps were starting on it some and it was now or never I feared. That Magnolia NOT is a 1st fig as well, the leafs did not look like Magnolia so not surprised the fruit seeming not going to be either.
