Our fig tree has started about a month early this year, maybe all the rain. Doing the usual with them, really ripe ones into the freezer for jam, others fresh, poached or with onion jam and blue cheese on a pizza.
However we have some pretty stiff competition for them. The net on the tree is getting a bit old and has a few holes/gaps etc. This morning when i let the chooks out they bolted away so thought I'd follow... All three of them under the net and jumping up the branches to get the figs, there was already a currawong inside with a beak full and a bower bird on the outside reaching through, and last night I heard the bats having a go, it's a ******* wonder we get any at all.
