Yeah I rush picking them too. I haven't had an I-258 yet. Looks like it's going to be another year at this point. I bet it's still pretty tasty.

I'm hoping mine ripens a couple this season. They always look good, even picked early!

It was very sweet. I mean, if I don't, there are a few squirrels, and birds, and I caught this guy on my birdfeeder camera the other night.

I moved my trees inside to ripen this season as I have difficulty eliminating all the critters before the fruits ripen. I am adjusting strategy to catch them slowly. I am glad with this alternative, I get to keep the fruits, slow their ripening and pick at my own time. It is a bit more work moving them inside and windows can get crowded.
I also put some trees inside only at nights and move them back out near the patio door during the day. I believe I caught the 2 squirrels which like to browse earlier in the season. And the crows are helping this season to keep the squirrels away.

I think the crows were some that were getting my figs

I established a no fly zone in my backyard from the beginning of the season. Any bird, critter would be discouraged with a water pistol if it tries to hang around.
The big trees are in the front where the squirrels and crows usually hang out.
