It's a Fig!

A while back I wrote about my new baby - a fig tree. When I bought it, I was told it wouldn't produce figs this year but next year for sure. Needless to say I was pretty excited when one, little oddly-shaped fig appeared. Then another perfectly shaped lovely - I was over the moon. 

This week they ripened into beautiful, soft, rosy fruits. How lucky!



Once plucked from the tree I prepared them my favorite way. Cut in half, topped with my homemade, fresh goat cheese.

 

I added a golden drizzle of local honey then popped them into an awaiting mouth.

Delicious and leaving me anxiously awaiting next years (hopefully) bountiful harvest!

  3. Well if you ever want more... lol

    I've heard that keeping chickens can be addictive. I know I've just fallen in love with every aspect of them.

    I'm thinking of doing some posts about the flock - but I'm still deciding on how I want to introduce them. There is so much information about chicken life that I'm just unsure of where to start.

    Looking forward to your next post!
