Those look amazing! I love figs and Im kinda jealous!! 

so that's what a fig looks like. I'd never seen one  

Yum 

Miss those kind–so pretty & yummy. There's just the boring dried ones at my stores. 

The two figs trees in my yard are loaded with both types, Californian & Persian figs. Love them! 

I have a lot of figs on my tree this year!👍 

my figs are loaded this year. not quite ripe yet but I'm impatiently waiting!  

What do they taste like? Ive never had one 

So pretty! I used to love figs! I saw a documentary, though, about figs and wasps and now I can’t. Lol. But I remember!!! LOL! Enjoy! 

I’ve never eaten a fig either. Do you eat the whole thing including the peel? 

Brings back memories of my sister and me, sitting in the fig tree at my grandparent's, eating figs. We always peeled them, but some people ate the peelings too. I'm very envious. Enjoy! 

I’ve never had fresh figs #futuregoals! Looks amazing. 

No, you don't usually eat the peel. The peel is a little fuzzy. Not poisonous, but definitely not a good mouth feel. But fresh figs are a beautiful thing, and fig preserves are 5-star foods, anytime, anywhere. Next time you see a fig tree fruiting, it's well worth a picking to indulge!  

I like it 

Is it lift day because you are "lifting" figs from your next door neighbor? 

That's funny, Snow. She gives them to me freely.  

I have never eaten figs before. Not sure why but I'm putting them on my bucket list. 

Hi John, nice to see you are still here and still doing well! I love fresh figs, but can't get them very often.
