🔍 When is it ripe?
Fig: Hangs heavily and droops at the neck; skin softens and may split. A sweet drop of nectar at the base eye and the absence of white sap at the stem confirm ripeness. Pick with a gentle twist.
Prickly pear: Turns from green to red, orange, or yellow depending on species. Ripe when skin gives slightly and colour is fully developed. Use tongs and burn off the tiny glochid spines with a flame or rub in sand before handling. Sweet, mild flesh.
1 large prickly pear cactus and a fig tree, both are behind a fence but prickly pear can be picked if fence is closed, fence is open on weekdays. prickly pear is bland and not worth the effort
