My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Unknown Italian Fig

18 years ago

I talk to my friend Joe and he told me the stick he gave me was not from Bari Italy as i had previously thought. This stick was recieved from state of Emilia Romagna about 10 k from city of Bolonia or Bologna i think their same?

Anyways this fig is first ever off tree its produced after 3 seasons i first noticed it swelling thursday eve and was excited after all first one well it had everything going against it weather wise after close to 9 inches of rain Friday thru Sunday afternoon. So i picked today after it was bent down and soft it maybe would fall. I ate and was very surprised at the sweetness of it, kind of like my Sals figs but a different type of sweet taste if thats possible it has a mild fig taste after the sweetness goes away i noticed. For me i need to taste more to figure this 1 compared to others. I dont think the fig showed true taste and maybe not skin color yet being first fig and having the rain we did. Actually i did not think i would get to try this 1 fig after all the rain we had but it survived. Maybe i have 2 to 4 more still green not sure if i will get to try those. But i look forward to next year with more excitement now with this tree to taste the figs .
