    Nice looking fig Joe, thank goodness you at least have a breba to eat and perhaps you have quite a few more on the way 🤞

    It’s amazing to think we live in the same country! Summer never happened for us. Yet to get 20C here.

      Hi Tina, you are always so kind ☺️
      I really enjoyed the first fig of the season. We’re a little behind this year due a very cool June, but it’s warming up now 😀☀️
      I’m also excited about my Jabuticaba seedlings 🌱 although I know they take a very long time to fruit from seed 🤣
      Lots of love from London 😘❤️

    Nice video, but this doesn't look like Dalmatie to me. I suspect it to be a Longue d'Aout in stead. At least that's what the leaf and fruit seem to indicate. Both are quite distinctive. Worth investigating :D

      @@bobh4686 , thank you for your comments on the supposed Dalmatie fig 🤣. It initially was sold as white Adriatic, but I came to the conclusion that it was probably Dalmatie, due to pics I saw online. I’ll definitely investigate further 🤣
