The most fruitful figs harvesting

We are so delighted to have a fruitful harvest of figs a couple of weeks ago.  To us harvested 5 fig fruits in a day meant a lot as compared to other fig planters.  The total weight of the 5 figs is only 133g.  I bought this weighing scale from Lazada just to weigh my fig fruits..This is the most fruitful harvest so far.
The varieties of these figs are a combination of white (actually yellow) and black figs.  The white ones are Panache (the one in front with its unique stripes of green and yellow) and Louisiana University Gold (at the background).  The black varieties are IBG (Ipoh Blue Giant) and Barnisotte.

A morning tour of my fig plants

Woke up slightly early this morning, able to steal sometime to check on our fig plants before going to work. In fact, I am pretty excited to see so many fruits on the trees. Honestly, not all the fruits turn out to be good, we had thrown away some of the fruits because they turned bad prematurely on the tree due to many factors, too much rain, white flies, and other pesticides are all detrimental to growing fig trees. We hope to harvest 2 of the fruits from Louisiana University Gold variety hopefully by this evening, you will see in my video below that they are looking good on the tree but have yet to taste them to give an honest recommendation on this variety.
