Congrats on the squash! Cant keep the vine borers off of mine

[@sanantoniogardening]

Thanks. They got most of my other squash.

I've seen cooks make refrigerature jam from figs. Some add a strawberry flavoring. Both are good. Pick your figs when they just start to ripen or the squirrels will get them! Let the figs ripen on the counter. I planted my fall tomatoes last weekend after putting up shade shade cloth.😊❤

[@sanantoniogardening]

Thanks for all the tips. I’ll try that out and let everyone know how it goes.

@sanantoniogardening Your welcome, fellow San Antonian!

I understand what you mean about the tomatoes slowing down. I had one in a pot and when it got to the point where it looked sad, I just moved the pot into the partial shade and it seems to be doing much better.

[@sanantoniogardening]

Same here. Hopefully they bounce back when things cool down.

San Antonio gardener here. Figs are going crazy. Wait until they are slightly soft before you pick them. I quarter mine and put them in the dehydrator. Add nothing to them and they are a sweet snack during the day time. Great job on your garden!

[@sanantoniogardening]

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

FISCHER texas here. Drip irrigation , heavy mulch, and shade cloth are a must around here.

San Antonio TX. I guessed correctly, “Avocado”. 👍

[@sanantoniogardening]

Good guess. Thank you for the comment.

[@LisePgardener]

Nice video. My mom used to substitute fig in any recipes that called for dates -- date bars, filled oatmeal cookies, etc. Delicious.

[@sanantoniogardening]

Thanks for the tips. I’ll look into that.

[@vicolaromero3365]

Thanks for sharing your learnings! Do you have drip irrigation and how did you install?

[@sanantoniogardening]

Thank you for watching. I don’t have drip irrigation. I have a standard underground sprinkler system that came with the house.
