4月27日に買ったイチジクのゴールドフィグは、
I bought this gold fig on 27th April this year.
現在ここまで育っています。主幹に蕾/実が出たのに加え、２本の横枝にも最近小さな実がでました。
It has grown to this size now. Initially, there were no flower buds (fruits). Now I see fruits on the trunk itself, as well as on the two side branches.
These fruits are on the trunk itself. A few of them are turning yellow, but it is not easy to know when the fruit is mature.
これは下のほうの横枝。
This branch is on the lower part of the tree.
これは主幹の頂上近くの横枝。
This branch is near the top of the tree.
豊産性のようですが、初年度の実のサイズはちっこい。口を開かずに完熟する品種なのか分からないので、１個試し採りすることにしました。
This variety seems to be prolific, but the fruits are tiny - they may be larger from next year onwards. Not knowing whether the top of the fruit should open when it is ripe, I decided to try one.
ちょっと早すぎたようです。でも甘くて美味しい。左側の半身は白い部分もクリーミーで食感が良いです。これくらい小さい実なら、スイーツに使うと見栄えします。
It was a little premature. However, the fruit was sweet and pleasant. The half piece on the left was more ripe than the one on the right, and the white surrounding was creamy and delicious. The fruits may be small, but this is the right size to use in sweets (large fruits spoil the sweet's overall appearance).
台風13号の影響でここ数日涼しいので、パン作りに最適です。タンパク質13%の強力粉で、卵無しの素朴な丸パンです。
Due to the effect of typhoon No. 13, which is still lingering somewhere far south of Japan, we have had cool weather for the last several days. It has been a perfect combination of temperature and humidity, so I made plain buns.
