Our neighbor, Hye, grows so many wonderful things in her garden.
A few years ago she put in a Fig tree that likes to show off now that it is mature.
These lovely figs are just bursting at the seams. I'm not sure when they are ripe but I think I may have to try one soon.
Do you like figs? Fig Newtons used to be my favorite cookie.
Wishing all of you a great weekend. Hope the weather will cool down.
Happy First Day of August.

I love figs.
Happy first day of August to you as well.
I've not eaten a Fig Newton in years ... decades, really. Nevertheless, just the mention of them and I can taste that deliciousness in my mind all over again. Simple pleasures!
I am patiently waiting for my figs to ripen. Oh goodness, Fig preserves are a favorite and I'm sure hoping to have enough figs to make several jars. So kind of your neighbor to share their bounty. BTW...fig newtons have always been the top cookie for me.. Happy August 1st...it is very hot here, but I guess this is what August is supposed to be like.
I've never really had figs. But they are pretty, aren't they? They don't grow around here...
OMG! Figs. That is SOOOOOOO cool.
I wouldn't know what to do with a fresh fig, but I do like Fig Newtons...actually "Little Debbie" makes a nice fig bar that is much less expensive and very good. I do remember that we made fig bars when I was a child, but I don't know where my mother got the figs to put in them. Seems like they had a crust that was made with oatmeal and whatever else...sugar, butter? I'd have to look at the recipe. They sure were good. Or wait, were those Date Bars? That might be what they were...seem slike they would be very similar. It's been a LONG time!! Happy August!!!
I LOVE FIGS!!! I keep Fig Jam in the frig all the time. Our TJMAXX has a wonderful variety. When we lived in Bell Gardens and Pastored a Babtist Church there was a hug fig tree in the front yard. It was then I found out a lot of people Do NOT like figs. We had so many I hung plastic bags on the fence and a sign FREE ~ AS MANY AS YOU WANT!! Didn't have many takers.
They are wonderful on sour dough toast with cream cheese!! Yum!
Would you believe I have never tried a fig.
I have never tried fresh figs. We never see them here. I loved dried ones though.
Have a great weekend, Sue.
I do like fig newtons but that's the only way I've ever had figs. I wouldn't know what one looked like when it was ripe
I do love figs, and they are VERY good for you - love the fig newtons too.
Our fig tree just up and died on us after producing so well for years so this is the first summer without figs. I like Paul Newman’s brand of fig newtons -
Enjoy! I'm not sure if I have ever tried a fig.
Figs are so yummy. I like them too. I've planted at least 3 fig trees on our property and none of them made it. I'll not try that again. Our soil is just too dry for fruit trees. The Mulberry is doing great, though. The birds love that.
Blessings. ❣️
Fresh figs are delicious, even better than a Fig Newton, which I also like but it’s been awhile since I’ve had any and with a cold glass of milk there are so good😋. Hope you enjoy those figs soon, Sue.
