FIGS
I just picked 20 lbs of Desert King Figs.My parents have a bumper crop this year.Tonite is fig preserves and then fig newtons.Do any of you guys or gals eat or try figs?
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
RE:FIGS
I love figs. I have a tree. This is only its second year so it hasn't any fruit.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Im with you there.Figs are extremely fattening and very high sugar content.I have a few a season and thats about it.Figs are very versatile. In spain they make a liquor made from figs.Turkey is famous for the dried figs.All my life my family had Fig trees,Italian prunes and grapes.I have all three.

I have two trees.One is a black fig that ripens right before the coolness of October.The other a Green fig is done allready.I made fig jam but it hasnt firmed up yet.It could take a few weeks or more to set.Washington fruit is tough to jam.It seems like everything is juicier then other climate fruit ie..Ca or Tx.

Fig Newtons are the best. OMG I want some right now to go with my coffee.
RE:FIGS
Here is a big :thumleft: for figs. I learned that I really liked them when I moved out to New York City where they were available in every market. I don't think I've had one since I moved back to WA....that was 7 years ago. I didn't know one could grow them here.
I'm with ya RaMcVey, I could eat a mess of newtons...:king:
