 FIGS

 When I was a kid in Chicago, the only figs we saw were either dried or in a cookie called Fig Newtons. I had never seen or tasted a fresh fig. Twenty years ago I walked into a small fruit market in Tampa and there in a fruit bin were these Beautiful little fruit, figs. Tried one, returned for another and another and another, they tasted so great. It took me over twenty years to grow my first fig tree from cuttings. Of the many, my favorite variety are Brown Turkey.
