The Figs Are Ready

First fig of the season

I love figs, no wonder they look like a heart!

I have this enormous fig tree. Last year, I had so many figs that I dehyrated them, froze them, shared them, cooked with them, and ate them until I was stuffed. Sadly, this is a bad season, they are small and few. I'm having to fight with the birds to get them. I had a little talk with them, they can have the figs off the top of the tree and I'll take the lower figs. For some reason, the birds aren't listening.
