Figs

This entry is in the following categories:

Our place came with a fig tree, and since this is our first fall here, we've appreciated the tree (fig trees are awesome) but didn't know if it would fruit in this climate and location. It's hot enough here but the tree is a bit crowded and has a fair amount of shade.

The good news came in the form of a modest crop of black figs. Fresh figs are among my favorite things. I love the way they are soft and juicy and crunchy at the same time. I love the way they look inside. I heard that they are not really fruits at all but flowers turned inside out.

FIGS!
