Figs

I ate my first fig today. And no, it doesn’t taste anything like a Fig Newton. My gardening coworker Steve brought me more cucumbers and let me eat one of the Brown Turkey figs that he picked off his fig tree in his backyard.

I cut it open and was dazzled by the color and design. Course I recognized the appearance having seen pictures in magazines.

It was sweet and mysterious to me. I’ll have to search for some at the Greenmarket.
