I'm not complaining! Figs for breakfast - yum! And this time I took a picture not only of the figs and cream cheese which I since devoured, but also of a few spares which will disappear over the next couple of days. I promise you that there are still loads on the tree.
Apparently, it is a good year for figs. I have no fig tree so I don't know but I do know that everyone who is friendly with Holly Dog's human is fed up with making fig jam and fig chutney.
What I have is tromboncino. Like all courgettes it doesn't know what to stop. Fortunately my neighbour doesn't have a plant but he does have rhubarb which again has no idea that enough is enough so we did a little swap. I'm picking, cooking, pureeing and freezing tomatoes as fast as I can.
It seems to be an excellent year for apples, pears and plums but not very good for runner beans. What's done really well in your garden this year? Or not? And has anyone tried dehydrating figs?
My runner beans are doing OK, the soft fruits have been a great harvest, my tomatoes are only just ripening, very late.
ReplyDeleteI had enough beans but not the usual glut. Tomatoes have gone crazy. I don't grow soft fruit - I get given plenty!
DeleteMy blueberry bushes produced very well, this year. The peach tree did, too. I've never had any luck with runner beans. Never tried dehydrating figs, but, I've read they can be dried in an oven or in a dehydrator (or sun dried).
