Good for you Skeet! Mine are not as plentiful as last year & have a ways to go before ripening. Hope I get enough to make your recipe!

I picked about a half gallon today and they are really starting to ripen now. Thanks skeet, I had not thought to check until your post. Got to get them before the birds. Mocking birdÂ’s love them as well as bees do.

Hey all. My celeste really produced alot of figs. So many that I had to find a recipe to use some up. I posted it in the recipe section under "fig cookie turnovers". I hope everyone else has had a good crop. Enjoy!- Vinny
