I was so sad last week when I ate the last plum off the plum tree, now only the apples abound. Thinking the fruit season had pasted (strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, (apples all summer and fall), and plums....now done. But wait, my fig tree that I had planted just 2 years ago, decided to ripen, Yeah! Heat them in a pan until bubbly with a little butter and honey, and you have a great sauce for ham/pork, or toss over yogurt, or ice cream, or my favorite, eat plain right off the tree. My SIL , who lives in a warmer climate, says its too cold where I live to get figs...but I wrapped the tree for the winter and I have fruit......
