[AG-EQ] Figs

Tue Sep 3 02:52:15 UTC 2019

The only figs that I have eaten were the supermarket dried sort, but I would imagine that if there
be * dried figs, there must also be * fresh ones!but never having had one, I can't give any
mouth-watering description of their palatability;  however,if their opinion was sort, I am sure that 
all frugivorous animals would go into raptures over their succulence!
Tracey said that hers:  or were they someone else's had multiple trunks.  This would be right as the 
fig is of the baobab, or is it banyan?  I always get them mixed up!  species.

Hi, in Ontario we use the Celsius system as well.
We just finished summer well we still have a few weeks left as I said previously but it’s starting
to get cooler about 21° with no humidity right now and about 10° at night again all in Celsius.
When we have humidity it sometimes gets 35 to 40° in the summer so we have our air conditioning on I
personally like just sitting outside in it but I can definitely see how weeding or doing work would
be a challenge.
What exactly is a fig? I've heard of them but I've never seen or felt one before.
