| Here are some pictures i took this morning when rain stopped.
Been getting a lot of rain. Violet De Bordeaux main crop, i enjoy the way they take on a reddish hue early then turn real dark later. 
Dark Portuguese - Main crop, part of the branch almost looks like last season wood but its not. ; ) 
Santa Cruz Dark ,which i have read is san pedro class fig but i have to see for myself, if they do indeed need fig wasp there is no fig wasp here near Chicago.

| This makes me happy because, by accident, I got the lady Violet du Bordeaux. So now I know what to expect! Since I pinched, my 6 figs have grown to 17. |

| Ya, thanks for the pics Martin. Just one more piece of evidence that our Gurney's "Italian Honey Figs" are in fact...Violet du Bordeaux. Dave |

| Making my mouth water. I really enjoy ripe from the tree figs. I have to know, are you over wintering your figs outside? I have the common, in everyone's yard- all throughout the neighborhood, plain-jane naturalized fig. Mine look like it's going to be a month or so longer before being ripe and I'm a zone warmer- so I'm jealous. I wouldn't mind trying some others if they are indeed cold hardy as a general rule.

| Jon i grow in containers and store mine in attached garage for the winter, i let 2 frost in the 20s hit my trees and then bring them in regardless if they have leaves still on or not. |
