--and the two others still on the tree waiting to be relished with sweet abandon. Will probably pick them tomorrow, or in two days at the latest.

Yum!

Giuseppe

Congratulations!

And since you live in zone 9 your season is so long. In not year round. I was born in Egypt and my father owned 100 acre fig farm. He grew figs year round. The weather in Egypt is mediterranean weather which is very hot and dry in summer and very warm and little rainy in winter. But my father did nor depend on rain he has an irrigation system pulling water from the river Nile. He sold his figs to wholesalers and they in turn sold to retailers. He made a good living. But he never allowed me to learn the fig business and told me you go to school and have a degree. May be he was right he wanted the best for me any way.

Just look at the size and shape of that fig. Wow! Big as a pear. Congratulations.

FP,

You had a very caring father. He was looing out for your future.
