Over the holiday weekend, look what I stumbled onto out in the garden. It's my very first ripe fig!
I can't tell you how excited I was to see this! I thought I had lost my chance for figs earlier this past month when I went away for a few days on a business trip and my husband forgot to water my potted fig plants. The poor plants had lost most of their leaves, but the figs held on.
I took it inside, cut it in half, put a couple of crumbled pieces of Stilton on each half, and then drizzled it with honey. YUMMMM!
This fig came from my "Negronne" fig tree...
Since this weekend, I've picked 5 more luscious beauties, with even one large brown fig from my "Olympian" tree.
Here's hoping next year's harvest will be even better!
