first figs

If you know me well, you know that my favorite fruit is the fig. I know I spent at least $50 - $60 on figs last summer (with such a short growing season, this could be considered an expensive fruit habit.) Therefore, this February I convinced Robin that having my very own fig tree was a necessity. It's just a little tree, but it has already blessed me with a decent crop of fruit that I am savoring one-by-one. I can't wait for it to grow up so it can provide me with more figs than I can eat -- I would love to share! ... for now, I'm keeping them all to myself. (It's a good thing Robin doesn't enjoy them.)


our first three figs were perfectly delicious

Dad's figs are beginning to ripen, and they're teensy minis. I never thought I liked figs, but I do like these! Kayla, Kendra and I picked a few this week, but there weren't many ripe ones, so those tasty treats are in our near future. I'm glad yours are bearing.
Love you!!
