The one thing I thought would be a bust(watermelons) are actually doing very well, pleasantly surprised. Something is gnawing at them though, and chewed a few growing vines off. Breaking out the Gamo tomorrow morning.

Quick question on figs.
I have access to my neighbors tree. It seem the time of year when they are ripe.
What do folks who have fig trees or access to them like to do with them or how do you prepare them. I've never dealt with them before.
Thanks for your input.

Simple Fig Jam
Simple Fig Jam is an easy and utterly delicious, no added pectin recipe. Mediterranean in influence use it as jam or enjoy with cheese, which it complements beautifully!

Stuff with goat cheese and wrap with prosciutto or bacon...a bit of effort but really quite good.
Just baked with goat cheese and drizzled with honey is good also.
We like this...

Pretty easy and we make a bunch and call it dinner, with some wine, maybe a salad.
Spanish Chorizo is one of my favorite things in the entire world, so any chance to eat it I take.

Dehydrate them, chop them up, drizzle with balsamic, put on pizza with mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, crumbled bacon, sausage.

A fig jam smear on top of a roast for the last 15 minutes in the hot oven… or a thick seared rare- med rare steak caramelized under the broiler for a a couple minutes or less
That sounds great. I had fig chutney once done similar to that and it was excellent.

Should be good with Humpy...
This is the largest tomato I've been able to grow
All the figs on my neighbors tree were kind of small and still hard, so I paid a visit to a tree in the neighborhood that is in the middle of a street roundabout. I found it when COVID started while out on my daily walks. Just grabbed a few pretty decent sized ones that were soft to play around with.
A guy walked who was walking his dog and he asked me what I was doing. I told him I was getting free produce, lol…...
