They are the type that is most commonly grown in the mid-Atlantic region. <BR/><BR/>I have seen several homes in D.C. with fig trees in their yards. They grow very well in this area, I think because our winters are not extremely cold. <BR/><BR/>The figs in my photo were picked from the trees in the common area of the community garden where I have my plot. They are available for the public to enjoy -- quite literally, anyone can walk by and pick some. We are very fortunate to have those trees. The figs are a real treat!</I>Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905386163490128028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-1158494531172563902006-09-17T08:02:00.000-04:002006-09-17T08:02:00.000-04:00mmm figs are wonderful with stilton cheese melted ...mmm figs are wonderful with stilton cheese melted on!!Naturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-1158367191480659562006-09-15T20:39:00.000-04:002006-09-15T20:39:00.000-04:00You're so lucky.
