Sublime Sunday: Figs

silversaver888 in GEMS • 2 days ago

Well, for the first time in so many weeks (three to be exact), I visited my tiny gardens (in every corner of the small property)!

To my surprise, there were figs!!!

I gave up looking for fruit a while back. The last time I peeked, about several weeks ago, there was nothing! It was just full of foliage but no fruits! The last time it fruited was three years ago!

So finding figs on the tree now was a pleasant surprise!

Wait, did I say fruits? Actually, they are flowers, an inverted flower!
Have you tasted a fresh fig? It truly breaks my heart that many (millions?) Americans have not tasted a fresh fig! Do you know that they are a very good source of calcium and potassium?

Fresh figs have a honeyed sweetness, and the texture is soft and squishy... the seeds give it a pleasant crunch!

I would put them in Spinach Salad, and would bake a batch of two loaves of fresh Fig Bread in my first home, where I had two fig trees in the backyard!

When and if I am able to harvest at least two cups of figs, I will show you how to bake my version of Fig Bread. Hmmm... yummy!

I'm pretty excited! But at the same time, I'm a little worried. It is getting cold here, and I am afraid that the figs will not ripen as well as they would during the summer. What do you think?

That is so awesome! I love figs but have never had a fig tree. I remember being out in Yuma, Arizona and being able to buy them fresh out there at the right time of year. They were amazing! Congratulations, that is exciting!

Every property should have a garden like this. When we visit it every day, it is a joy to see so many flowers and plants that we have planted growing together nicely.
