If you have never tasted fresh figs
then you are missing out on one of the south’s greatest summer
treats. Though
they are delicious, it can be a challenge to find fig fruits for
sale, even at
farmer’s markets and farm stands. This is because figs do not
store well and
have a shelf life of only a few days at best. If you want fresh
figs your best
option is to plant a fig bush. Luckily, figs thrive in our region
and are one
of the easiest fruits to grow organically.
