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!

  2. Thanks 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.
