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?

Last week, before the cold weather came, I picked nearly five kilos of
ripe figs. From those I made fig chutney and fig jam. With the fig jam I
made a batch of fig rolls and these were devoured eagerly by my
daughters and their husbands when they gathered on Saturday to celebrate
a birthday!

I don't anticipate this happening in any future years, though, with the
most recent forecasts on global warming, it may just happen.
