Early Bird Figs

We have 2 large fig trees which we have propagated increasing our fig tree population to 9 trees in different parts of the yard. We grow an abundance of figs, in fact, the strawberry fig jelly we make and sell:) is one of our favorites.
Figs are usually ready to be picked the end of July so we  were surprised Friday morning when we were treated to 4 early bird figs. They were larger and sweeter than normal too. Whets the appetite for later in the summer for sure.

We also picked green beans, eggplant, hot and sweet banana peppers and cucumbers.
Tomatoes are on the way and I can't wait for that first tomato sandwich!!
