We just picked a basket of figs off the tree. They’re super messy and duper sweet. And they’re for Adam. The Duke.
If Adam doesn’t come over and eat them all, then we’ll be making fig newtons. Homemade!

Wow! I am jealous! Planted 2 fig trees (named them Adam & Eve) and we have just one fig
Guessing Texas heat may be just too much for them…maybe next year?
FIGS! My favorites! I bought a fig last year….it died. I was heartbroken. RIP Phineaus. I tried again this year. My new fig Thor is thriving but he’s still just a baby. I’m crossing my fingers that someday I’ll have beautiful figs like you guys do.
Love that you and Lori are naming your fig trees. Awesome names by both of you.
What variety are they?
We are not 100% sure, but we believe they are called Strawberry Figs. That is what the nursery told us when we originally bought the tree.
I so want a fig tree right now! Will have to start keeping my eye out for a good deal, but first need to figure out how to rid my other trees of all the millions of bugs killing them.
We used the Monterey Garden Insect Spray which contains spinosad to help “right the balance” of good bugs vs bad bugs in the garden. It still takes time to establish a good ecosystem in a new garden, but yours will be there soon.
These figs look divine and I am so jealous! We’ve had such a mild summer that our figs are still green…waiting for some ripening warmth and sun. Thanks for giving me hope and sharing such gorgeous photographs!
Wow. Those are gorgeous, almost too pretty for words.
