The figs have arrived

The backyard gardens harvest is in full swing now with tomatoes, peppers, okra, and figs in abundance. This is peak season for most of our vegetables and fruits but the figs usually peak towards the end of July. The picture below is a two day harvest. Imagine how many we'll be picking by the end of the month. Figs are used to make our favorite strawberry fig jam and can be dried as well.
