I've left a corner of the tree to the beetles, and they seem to be leaving another corner to me. By the way, it is a complete accident that the title of this post is <em>exactly</em> (down to the three little dots I agonized over) the same as one I did last year at around the same time -<em> also about the beginning of the fig crop</em>. After I did the post, I saw that the system was adding a "2" to the URL (which is automatically constructed from the title),a dn I could not figure out why. So I did a search, and there it was. And I thought I was being so fresh and slightly arch by choosing that title... only to find that I'd done exactly the same thing before. Weird. -cvj Just had another tasty four….

And the first lot (fertilised last autumn) are rather tasty right now. An Indian summer will give us a ripened second crop (fertilised in the really hot April - May period) in the late autumn. And not a beetle is sight, thus far. For the first time I can recall, we have had two fruitings in a year on the fig tree in the garden.

But live and let live, so far. They get some, I get some. Let's hope it remains in balance. -cvj I’ve seen a couple of the (beautiful) beetles here too. But live and let live, so far.
