DEEP DIVING NON-BERRY FIGS!

[@Athabina]

thanks for this video Lou; I just now have a rooted LSU Tiger cutting so this video was timely and encouraging

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

We LOVE all of our fig varieties, thriving in our climate. Greetings from Arizona Zone 9B, thanks again for all the tips and tricks Lou! Cheers

Birds, squirrels, raccoons, gophers, and possums, oh my! They all love my garden, too. The one pest I'm not plagued with out here are deer.

Where I am in SoCal, I’m rather jealous that Lou can set down a fig on the grass and it isn’t immediately covered with ants! Organza bags help a lot, but some of my figs get way too many ants in and on them anyway. There’s always something! 😉

Thanks to your recommendations... I blindly put a Peter's Honey into the ground at my new place here last Fall. It is now my best fig already!!! Creamy honey goodness... Me and my son both LOVE it. Thank you. I do have a Smith and Italian 258/Genevese Nero AF in the ground as well. About to add in RdB, VdB, CdDG, JH Adriatic, Azores Dark, and Figo Preto this Fall.

The fact that I actually understand all those acronyms suggests that I may have spent a little too much time watching fig videos! But I have many of those as young trees or recent grafts as well. I look forward to next year when more of my varieties will be fruiting and I can judge for myself!

[@great0789]

@@margaretmarshall3645 Same boat then! They totally get better every year for the first few years as well. Ripening sooner too.

[@markspivey957]

I look forward to your videos and I really appreciate some of the history of your varieties

I love watching your figs ripen and all the back stories that come with it. Too bad about the racoon, but nature happens! Debbie's fig bread looks great, what a treat!! You guys are living the good life!! Take care!!

Thank you!!!!! Regards from, Lou & Debbie!

I’m sooooo glad you made this video. I have several Mt Etna trees and although they are delicious I noticed they mostly have the same berry figgy taste. My 2 favorites are RLBV and Makedonian Dark. I have a LSU Tiger 2 yrs old, but first year inground. It has one fig on it. No where near ripe. My Peters Honey produced a huge breba this year that was knock out delicious and incredibly sweet. It’s now starting to ripen 2 of its main crop. Just like what happened to you happened to me a few days ago. I have a beautiful Jurupa fig tree that produced its first 3 figs this season. It’s on the deck right near my back door. They were just about ripe I said tomorrow morning they will be ready. Walked out the back door in the morning all 3 figs were gone. Not half eaten, completely gone. Now I’ll have to wait till next season to taste one. Debbie’s fig bread looks wonderful. Is it possible to put the recipe in the description or maybe post it on the Ourfigs forum? My husband wants me to make one for him. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks Lou, always a pleasure to listen a wise lecture on all things. What's your take on Peter's Honey as Kadota variant?

[@loumonti10]

Hi there! Yes, I'm aware that there are those that have proposed that Peter's is the same as Kadota. I remember reading that on Edible Landscaping's web site once. In my opinion (having grown them both) they are definitely not the same. Thanks for watching. Lou Monti

Stop pawing the bread Lou! You two are such a cute couple.

[@ZonaFigs]

I feel your pain on that 1 I had a possum getting into my apple trees this year for the first time breaking branches and stealing my apples.

[@imdanhoover]

that fig bread looks amazing..i'm thinking mascarpone on a slice!

[@loumonti10]

Wow!!!! We will try it!!!!

[@pjorge8363]

Hello, so sorry to hear about that Racoon hitting your greenhouse, I myself have been dealing with a family of Woodchucks (ground hogs) trying to attack my vegetable garden. Boy, they sure are a pain in the neck! O well, comes with the job! Best Wishes!

[@loumonti10]

Thank you!

[@ArabicOrchard]

Hello Lou, my Salem honey from Bass identical to yours petter honey, Are they same varieties with two different names?

[@loumonti10]

Hi there! Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I would doubt it very much. Thanks for watching! Lou Monti

[@linlaonong]

Lou, you will have a very long life with figs

[@loumonti10]

Only time will tell!

[@margaretmarshall3645]
