I used to eat
Thanks Elenka, I have a fig tree, the birds tell me when the fruit is ripe. I tell them it’s ok to eat some but leave us some fruit too!
It is one of my favourite fruits. I have two fig trees in my garden 🙂
My Grandmother had fig trees and would make fig preserves each year.
A good memory!
Nice!
