Here Figgy, Figgy!




Guess what's ready for harvesting?


FIGS from my fig tree :)


They're super ripe and juicy, which means it's time to set up the ladder and start picking; Johnny Appleseed Style...

They warn you "Never sit on a ladder..."

Okay, jokes aside... look at my nice bag full of FIGS


 
Question: Can you guess what i'm
going to be baking with my figs?

  2. The pictures look like drunken fig-picking. You should always have a designated picker. LOL.


    I can't wait to see what you will make. I am sure it will be intoxicating and inebriating...in a wholesome and delicious way!

  6. Oh, gonna second it - muffins!

    I love figs. In Israel I lived near a fig tree for a while, but it wasn't the right season, so I never got to reap the benefit. I wonder if I could grow on in Massachusetts...

  10. No WAY!! I am so jealous. I've never had a fresh fig - but am a HUGE fan of the dried variation ;) I saw the fresh ones pop up once in my grocery store - but couldn't splurge on them at the time. Go figure, I've never seen them since!! I can't wait to see what they become :)

  12. Oh wow, you're just too adorable girl, seriously!! Looooove your tan-so envious right now! I guess I would bake some scrumptious figgy PB banana bread, as I don't really care for fresh figs-but maybe the ones I had were not really ripe?? I bet u come up with something fab!! Lots of <3 xoxo Mel

  15. Well if you’re not going to eat them Raw or Dried out… you’re going to make the famous Fig Newton or create a delicious Jam.

  38. LUCKY!! I've only ever eaten dried figs (which I absolutely adore and would attack someone just to get my hands on them) but I've always wanted to try figs that AREN'T dried. Do they taste a whole lot different?

    PS. You're adorable. :)
