Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey'

The #fig #harvest has started!

Oh yum 😋

#OnMyPlate #bestofseptember

So jealous 💚

Another seven ripe figs today - that’s about 12 so far, and lots more to come. Can you freeze or preserve figs, not sure we should eat all of these today (😳)?

Fig chutney is lovely

Wow 🤩 you’ve inspired me to get a fig tree they look lovely 😋

Fig jam.

Probably the last two figs from this year’s crop.

Ripening nicely now - quite a few coming. My good lady is away for a few days and she’s the one who eats them. Very bad timing! Will they keep in the fridge for a few days? #gyo

A large fig leaf in the greenhouse - it’s not hiding anything! #foliagefriday.

🤣😂

Why has this appeared twice? I got a message saying my request had timed out! Apologies to all.

@oldgreyheron it just does this sometimes. You can go into your profile feed if you want and delete the extra one by tapping the little pencil next to the encyclopedia link above the photo. You can however take comfort in that fact that, at least virtually, you have twice the fig trees!

Lots of developing fruit on the little fig in the greenhouse.

Oh, this is exciting, better than last year: fig brown turkey in the greenhouse.

First ever fruit - picked an hour ago, now devoured by my good lady! #gyo

Don't you like them Mike?

I'm not as keen as Sandra is @kathy so my expectations were met!

👍🏻

Wow

They're growing... Will they ripen I wonder?

One of two embryonic fruits on the fig growing in a pot in the greenhouse. Our first two potential fruits. Any tips welcome!

keep it in a pot unless you want an enormous tree with lots of fruit :) mine is in a pot so not much fruit unfortunately, i think i counted five last year so will probably get it a larger pot :)

Thanks Sarah. Would you recommend moving it outdoors in the summer? It's only 1m tall at present. @Squares

No problem, i keep mine outside year round should be fine, was given mine by Greek friends some years back and was probably the same size ad yours, its always been outside :)
