Oh, ho! That sounds delicious! Gonna be a few years before I have enough figs to make preserves, though. I just love eating them fresh. If I can just get to them before the birdies and squirrels . . .

But I do think I"m going to try planting some strawberries in my raised bed this winter. Just can't get a good strawberry at the store these days! I have sweet potatoes growing in there now, and once they're harvested the quest for a perfect fresh strawberry in February will begin.

Here's another recipient of the soapy water spray program, my little brug "Charles Grimaldi" who was a tiny sprout in a 3" pot in April. They get infested with spider mites overnight, it seems. Debra says putting Windex in the soapy spray helps, too. I just added it to the last batch, so I'm trying it starting tomorrow.
