Just discovered that our Brown Turkey has ripened as second crop fig.

There may be one or two more small ones with a chance as well.

Photo to follow.

Just picked the second ripe fig.
Only a small one this time.
The smallest second crop have behaved as usual, going wrinkly and or
mouldy and I have been picking them off.

The remaining few still look healthy; if we avoid frosts, who knows?

I wish mine had done better. Have a look at this:

Isn't that odd? I've never seen a fig split on the tree, and it was only
partially ripe at that.

That is how our first second crop fig was - but we noticed it pretty
quickly and brought it inside. Very tasty.

We have about another half dozen small ones which are showing pink at the
base which I think means that they are ripening and not just moribund.

Don't think it will make it quite as far as Christmas figs but this is the
best season I can remember and we have had the fig in the same pot for
around 20 years now.
