Fig at Jogja Garden

Today is a shiny day. I found my fig fruit was ripen on the tree. I picked the fruit, washed, measured the weight and cut it into 4 pieces. I kept it in the refrigerator for a while. Eating a fresh fig from my own garden is something I am waiting for.

Ripen fig on the tree

My fig tree already gave me 2 fruits. The first was 4 days ago, and the second was this morning. They are still five on the tree. They don't ripen at the same time. So, I can still enjoy my figs in the next two weeks. The fruits took about 3-4 months to ripen. The first is 17 grams in weight and the second is 20 grams. Its taste is sweet. Delicious.....

My fig variety is Negronne, a large almost black fig with a very deep-red pulp. From ALABAMA A&M AND AUBURN UNIVERSITIES Fig Production Guide (w w w . a c e s a g . a u b u r n . e d u), I got the synonyms of this fig: Beer’s Black, Violette de Bordeaux.

I am waiting for the next ripen fig now.......

At last, Bloom at Jogja Garden

How are you today? I hope you are just fine.
I took picture of this flower this morning. Unfortunately, I don't know what flower it is. So, if you know what flower it is, please tell me. Thanks before. My wife was given seeds of this flower by my neighbor. At my neighbor garden, I can find this flower in many colors: red, pink, orange, and yellow.

This is my mother's Euphorbia milii. My mother bought it from my neighbor. Euphorbia likes full sun. Commonly, Euphorbia blooms in dry season in Indonesia. I don't really like Euphorbia because of its thorns.

I want to tell you the progress of my fig fruits. I took the picture this morning. There are 7 figs, I hope it will give me more fruits, because I really want to share my figs with my family, friends, and neighbors. I bought this fig tree in August 2007. It's about 20 cm height. Now, it's over 1 m height. I plan to prune my fig tree after it passes its fruiting time.

Fruiting at Jogja Garden

Long time no see...
I just want to share whatever I have at my garden. Because of my little garden, I don't have blooms, fruiting to show you anytime I want. This time, at last, I have something to share with my blog's readers.

I have my chili pepper tree ready to fruiting. I hope I can harvest chili from my own garden in the next few weeks. My wife will love it, I guess.


My fig tree also show its fruits too. I fertilize it with organic fertilizer for 2 months. Now, it's going to give me fruits again. It's color is still green now. It will be purple when mature and very sweet.
