Doc: Where are you located and what kinds of figs do you have? I am
very impressed with my Celeste! It is a young tree, just planted three
months ago, and it is bearing a great little crop and I don't see any
kind of blemish on the leaves or any insects on it!  We have a
very hot, humid summer here, but the winter can be biting cold, too
(6B). I'd like to plant other varieties of fig next year. I'm hooked on
them now.

Yeah, Dr. Sadler but we can't grow the type figs in the South which you can
grow in California which lend themselves to drying very well.  It's best to
eat as many as you can before the June bugs get them and make some preserves
with the rest.  Fig preserves go good on a cat's head biscuit with a slab of
fried country ham and washed down with a cup of hot chicory when  frost is
on the pumpkins.
