I actually was thinking about the same thing before I fell asleep last night (yes, during this time of the year I often think about food when I go to sleep).<br /><br />We have been just eating them straight. I found a few dessert/appetizer recipes online today, and they look promising. I'd like to make fig jams, but I need to find a recipe that can increase the acidity since I don't have a pressure cooker. Maybe I should look up how to dry them,too. Do you have any suggestions?<br /><br />------<br />Hi Lina!!!! <br />The one Wendy had was loquat. Loquats are long gone. I gave you a fig to try before (maybe last year?). I was worried that you wouldn't like the texture, but you were fine with it.<br /><br />------<br />Hi Sue~ Fig preserves sound lovely. Do you have a recipe that I can make with water bath canner?<br /><br />I should really be more appreciative of the fig trees and pay more attention to them. I didn't know they are fussy to grow in some zones.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271897050657481148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841144754760793563.post-49763858149217440002011-08-04T13:58:01.269-07:002011-08-04T13:58:01.269-07:00My Mom's family in South Louisiana, grow them,...My Mom's family in South Louisiana, grow them, and I am so envious.

Saving seeds still feels like a chore to me, but I'm trying to be better about it.<br /><br />------<br />Hi, Diana! Yes, those are yard long beans. It's fun to watch them grow. I hope we'll get some celery volunteers next season. The seedlings I started this year died (it was actually my fault since I didn't take good care of them). The celery variety is Tall Utah 52/70 Improved.<br /><br />------<br />Haha, Daphne. I was surprised when I pulled the carrot up.
