I like them too, Alex...but it gets like that here as well - so many you can't give them away!

I planted this fig this year - cunning plan to get around irrigation restrictions...fruit among flowers!!

The first one went to a wasp! :((
I will be politely declining all baskets of fruit this year...the kitchen is just too hot at the moment to be standing making preserves!!! And I won't have time later!
