now that we have a local whole foods (4 years) market, we get a larger variety of yummy stuff like these fresh black mission figs from california. before that i found them only sporadically here in maine. when i lived in boston, i would go to the haymarket produce vendors on saturdays and would often find them (in season) and get them by the tray. it's a fruit i never had as a child and never saw in the market. though i am a great believer in the locavore movement--we eat local as much as possible--i am glad we can get these in abundance and priced reasonably. if i had to choose between these and chocolate, it would be these for sure, but luckily i don't....LOL!Monday, September 26, 2011

Lucky you! We have a fig tree trained all along our side fence and usually get enough figs from early Sept for us, the neighbors and the birds. But this year has been so cool that we have only gotten three ripe ones so far and the birds took the first one.
