Bon jour! I grow French heirlooms and fresh produce on a small farm in South Carolina and am here to share my love of farming, wholesome living and my life as a woman farmer with a French heritage. I do not use pesticides or herbicides and only use natural, organic practices. I believe that food should be grown as Mother Nature intended...perfectly imperfect! Bon Appetit mes amis. Welcome to Le Farm...

Figs...glorious figs!
Looking forward to my next crop of figs. This was my first time growing them. I now cannot live without them! They taste just like honey to me...I believe these are Celeste. There is a trick, though. You have to beat the birds to them. They wait until they are perfectly ripe and drooping on the twig and then use their beaks to peck out a chunk and give the ants an open invitation. There is a curious thing about figs. They will not ripen off the tree. So, it is a race to see if the early bird will always get the fig. Not this year, if I can help it!

Congrats Le Farm on your new blogspot! This looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time out of your very busy farming day to check it out! I decided to blog to keep myself on top of projects and have a recorded place to see the progress. I've enjoyed every bit of it.
