  3. Hi, Ben, having the experience you have right now, if you'd want to have to pick 5-7 fig varieties for own consuming which ones would those be? You mentioned a few times that some figs would not make it to your top ten list.. have you tried to create such a list? You'd probably want to keep a representative of each taste group, right? Something like:
    1. Honey fig: Fig one (or equivalent fig 11, fig 12, fig 13)
    2. Berry fig: Fig two (or equivalent fig 21, fig 22, fig 23)
    3. Adriatic fig: Fig three (or equivalent fig 31, fig 32, fig 33)
    ...

    I bet all your readers would greatly appreciate it (including me)! Thank you in advance!
