You got what is called Smyrna type fig - the type that needs pollination by the fig wasp in order to ripen. Since you seem to not have such a colony of wasps around, the figs won't ripen. If you want to grow and eat really good figs that doesn't require pollination, there're varieties plenty to choose from. You need to look and buy from a reputable nursery, not from generic store or nursery. Check with the community at ourfigs.com
Now that I know this, I will probably remove the tree - eventually. It's near the deck and I don't want wasps around. Additionally, there's a big snake that likes to sun itself around the tree. Not that I mind so much, but a lot of visitors get really nervous!
One of these years, I'll get a better variety and plant it further up the hill, and move the stones that hold the heat that the snake likes so he can go hang out up there :)
Wow what a great community, thanks for sharing. Got any other similar communities? There's also:
* www.bananas.org/
* tropicalfruitforum.com/
* permies.com/forums
I'm keeping a list because I find it difficult to find actual human stories about their experiences with certain plants and I'd like to some day build something to parse online plant-centric communities like these. Especially if they're this niche!
Fig wasp cannot lay eggs in the female figs (those that we eat). They reproduce only in the male figs (caprifigs). But they cannot differentiate them so they enter the female figs, pollinating while entering. After they enter they hardly can escape, as their wings are lost when trying to enter the tiny hole.
That's right, however check the terms of each package, you probably will find that those are under "alternative terms" which are allowed in the new regulation, and if you accept, they take precedence.
As I stated also above - this raise is not only observed in Latvia, Lithuania, but across eastern countries in EU as well.
You ask about the reason - how about "let's try to compensate the loses", or "let's try as a preventive action", etc.
Now - I believe they are not going to keep this long down the road. You said "if people are willing to pay", but that should really be the question - are they? We'll see. I personally will downgrade my plan, as a reaction to theirs. What is important and strange, that even with less national data, there is a lot more in roaming.
I can only upvote this. Exactly the same in Bulgaria. Now telcos don't include the mobile internet as they did previously. If you're to to retain the same amount of data, you have to pay more more expensive plan. The paradox here is there're plans with say 400MB national megabytes, but 1200MB in roaming! Due to the weird formula implied for calculating the limit of data in roaming - related only to the cost of monthly bill you have.
The Uncanny Valley of HN comments gives plenty of credit to the author's post (which I enjoyed). Most of the comments sounds like coming from underdeveloped AI - awkward perception and total lack of human sense of humor.
both screens use eDP, you can drive them with ordinary DisplayPort, all of those those "driving boards" started with Polish Warsaw Hackerspace dude (Emeryth) publishing his findings concerning ipad screen
Exactly my thoughts. This video is in my favorites for quite some time and was also surprised how it become "new stuff" without reference to the original upload or other resource.
It is still cool of course, but not UAV,just RC jet ;)
