Until I moved to SC, I had only ever eaten a fig dried at Christmas. Now that I have my farm, I have 5 fig trees and am learning the art of picking and eating them fresh. One thing is for sure, they are highly prized at the local farmer's market I sell at every Saturday! I noticed that there were some fig trees for sale last week for $5 each so, I acquired a few more, making a total of 11. I tried to plant them where I can offer irrigation on the east side of my farm, slightly protected by other trees. That was some advice I was given so I hope I can keep them growing. I'd love to have enough to dry so Christmastime next year will be a little more special. If you have never bought fresh figs, you really need to. They are worth it!
