figs

I've planted trees that bear my three favorite fruits...figs, persimmons and apricots.  The apricot trees bloomed this year, but we had a frost afterward so no fruit (plus the trees are only a few years old).  The persimmons put on some growth but still need time too.  But the figs, they've grown quite a lot in five years or so and have been offering fruit for a few of those years now.  Because there is still a lot of shade where they're located, it can take a while for the figs to actually ripen.  They've started now, however, and I'm so grateful.  They're a beautiful fruit, luscious and jewel like.  The flavor is simultaneously subtle and very distinct.  Can you tell, I love them!
