Celebrating the Fig Harvest
It's one of the best times of the year at the Garden of Eden:
THE FIGS ARE RIPE!!!
We have 4 fig trees on our property, and each produces a bounty of plump, sweet fruits. The trees are only 10-15 feet tall with broad, flat leaves, and several "trunks".
Our figs are purple and tender when ripe, and they fall off the tree with the gentlest tug. Green figs are not quite ready for harvesting; they are firmer and would require more force to pull off the branch.
During the height of the season, a mere 10 minute harvest yields about 2.5 pounds of fruit!
The closer to ripe, the higher the antioxidant content of figs! They are also good sources of fiber, magnesium, manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, and vitamins including K and B6.
We like to eat them raw, sometimes as part of a beautiful platter of decadent treats.
We also alchemize them into dank preserves that we offer on Peerhub by SBD donation!!!

Great post! Yummmmyyy!!!! Abundance!!!!
I understand they are super easy to propogate from cuttings too!
Thanks, @michaelmcdermott! Yes, that's how we got some of our trees :)
We scored the branches, stuck the end in a plastic bottle with soil & water, and let it take root. Plants are a gift that keeps on giving!!!
Oh yeah! Awesome!!!! :)
Looks delicious!
For many of the inhabitants of our ecovillage, the figs are our favorite harvest :)
Super easy, super yummy, and super healthful!!!

Steemit is the revolution!! We have put almost a year of time, energy, and resources into this platform to earn our current position, and it's a lot of fun! :)
We have fig, mulberry, and peach trees, as well as pecan and a variety of healing but non-food bearing trees like slippery elm. We also have melons that grow on vines and blackberries that grow on bushes, and a whole bunch of veggies and herbs!! It is very satisfying to have a food production system with enough abundance to share!
You can run your food market man
Hats off
Great work
Seems dedicated!
Oh I love figs. I would put them in everything. Your fig spread with rosemary looks tempting!
That is one of our most epic creations! Sweet and savory, with super powers from the herbs and all kinds of healthful goodness from the fruit...seriously über dank stuff!!!

I have a plant in my garden, kinda late this year, I hope it does give us some Figs

Figs are real tasty and full of energy. Good that you have fig trees.
Plenty of functional components in figs and they are good to lower cholesterol and sugar levels and beneficial for diabetics.
It is a blessing to have not one, but 4 fig trees!! They are super healthful and really, really delicious.
Do you also make them dry so they will have more shelf life ?
