My figs are coming in fast and strong:

C96-FED71-C272-4-EB5-82-AC-4-E988-A2646-F9

My gardener, unfortunately, topped off the tree otherwise I think I would have gotten a lot more.

My daughter is visiting toward the end of the week - she wants to make a fig tart and sent a recipe. I told her the figs are ripening quickly and don't last very long, even if refrigerated.

I think they're best fresh and warm right off the tree.

I'm also fighting a horrible, nasty beetle that I've never seen before that is attacking the fruit. I'm going to have to find out how to fight it.

Bon; Nice! Do you know the variety?

Use Organza bags to protect your figs.
