My cousin dries her figs. Says it works great.
We have two new Celeste fig trees and they’re hanging in there during this horrible central Texas heat. Biggest problem is the grasshopper infestation.
Keeping netting on the fig trees works well as long as the netting doesn’t work loose but it does and the grasshoppers get in.
We’ve got a flock of guineas ready to let loose once the garden deer fence is finished (hopefully this week) and I can’t tell you how much I’ll enjoy watching them go after the grasshoppers.
:-D
Haven't you heard? Grasshoppers are said to be the next food fad.
