My First Ronde de Bordeau

[Harborseal]

After 4 years I finally got a fig from one of my RdBs





Lucky me

[don_sanders]

Ugh. What happened to that one?

[Harborseal]

It aborted. It can happen to any fig.

[greenfig]

I think it is time for you to get a real one !

[F. Bennett]

That's just depressing, Bob.

[strudeldog]

Well.... How did it taste???

[eboone]

That's what my first 4 O'Rourke's looked like - they fell off early. Looks like the next ones are filling out better.

[jmaler]

Tough luck. I had one of those this year. Yup, rdb.

[Chrisk]

Oh dang it. Sorry about your fig Bob. Hey at least you have one(RDB)!

[AscPete]

Hopefully there are more figs on the tree.

[quackmaster]

Hey Bob, do you think you have a dud tree or the conditions haven't been right in your area? I can set you an air layer on one of mines, they are young and productive.

[strudeldog]

Bob,

I think I figured out your issue. That coin is quite disgustingly filthy. I am certain your fig picked up some sort a disease from it. You need to start using UN-circulated coins for reference

[Harborseal]

Well.... How did it taste???

Like spoiled lime flavored cardboard

[Harborseal]

Hey Bob, do you think you have a dud tree or the conditions haven't been right in your area? I can set you an air layer on one of mines, they are young and productive.

Thanks! This has been an odd year. Rarely have highs been below 90. In hindsight I think my Osmocote Pro 6 Month pellets lasted less than 2 months and so my plants didn't get proper fertilization early on. But that's just a guess.

[quackmaster]

I'll set an air layer on one of trees, I have one from bass and one from Bob harper and they are both productive for small trees. I just figured out who you are from f4f, lol.

[Harborseal]

Thanks!

[FMD]

Look at the bright side Bob, the next first one is bound to be better than the first, first one.

[strudeldog]

Wow, Lime!!
That's a new flavor group for me. I am thinking figarita

[Gr8Figs]

I'm thinking the raccoon swallowed that one whole,perhaps with a lemon that upset his stomach.

[Harborseal]

Nice theory but I picked it right off the tree. Even the critters weren't interested in it

[Yeehova]

My Black Mission gave me the or for like that this year before I got a real fig from it. At least it is producing now
