Our first fig ran nearly three weeks late this year, ripening up on September 18.  Even then, we only had the one until today, when I hope to bring in enough figs to make it worth our while to roast some.  Good thing that possible frost passed us by or this would have been a one-fig year!  Instead, with autumn warming back up through the beginning of October, we may get to enjoy gallons of them.

The blueberries are finally slowing down, but another row of raspberries is ripening to take their place.  It's a bit odd how our two plantings of red raspberries act entirely differently even though they are all clones of one Caroline plant.  The row closer to the north-facing hillside (meaning they get a lot of shade, even in the summer) ripened up their fall berries nearly a month before the sunnier row, but the shady berries were considerably smaller.  The berries turning color now are huge and copious, promising a bowlful per day for our favorite dessert.
