Well this is the sad extent of my fig harvest this Well this is the sad extent of my fig harvest this year. I’m still learning how to grow these little fruits in pots. I can’t seem to give them enough water without drowning them. We had a 117 degree heat wave at the beginning of the season which didn’t help matters. These four little morsels were pretty juicy and good but the skins tasted unripe still. Better luck next year I hope. Any tips?
