Figs! Oh yeah, it's producing again. Last year it only formed 2 figs and they both dried and fell off before reaching maturity. It looks like this year will be way better. Pretty much every branch has a bunch of these bad boys!
Red gooseberry; they're ripe now. I've been waiting for these, not sure how red they need to turn to signal they're ready but today I've found a couple dropped on the ground so I knew they were good to go. Not a lot of them on this plant, but it's only in its 2nd year, so not too bad either considering how much the caterpillars loved it.
My yellow raspberries... dried on the bush. I wasn't paying enough attention to them. Guess that serves me right.
Didn't want the same to happen to my other berries so I went on a munch spree.
Evidence stays with you for a while :D
Couldn't quite manage to eat all that was ripe so there's a punnet full of berries for tomorrow.
Cheers!

ENJOY !
Hay man nice photography .
Our figs are hit-and-miss. If the winter is mild then we get a huge crop. The plants are not hardy in a hard freeze, though, and all the young growth dies back. The new stuff that comes up in the spring only produces a late crop and it never has time to ripen.
If I protected them in the winter we would probably be buried in figs every year.
How do you like to use them?
