Figs 2018~2023
August 8th, 2020October 5th


October 16th Had two or three figs each day for the last week and more with maybe a dozen in line for ripening. Early in the month I had cut back most of the longer reaching branches so as not to overwhelm or damage the greenhouse and wonder if that will force more energy into fruit ripening.
October 26th Had the last three figs today as the frost is about to arrive tonight for a week. I wasn't sure they were quite ripe, well two of the moreso, as they were not very soft, hanging down or a bit brown, but those two were the sweeter??
2019 No data recorded
2020 I cut back branches twice this year to allow work in the greenhouse. The greenhouse really needs to be moved?? Lots of figs. August 8th On average I've had a couple a day for well over a week.
2021 No data recorded
