Bountiful Garden

There is a fig tree in our front / side yard that we heavily pruned last winter that is just busting with fruit. We have been picking them every couple of days and my Mum even made a batch of fig jam. Here is some of the fruit.

Funny the birds are getting maybe only 5% of the fruit. A fair tax to have them around.
