09.25.20 Ten of Ten Ways to Eat Figs: Fig Smoothie

It’s a battle of species in the fig tree, all of us beetles, bees, flies, birds and humans scrambling to get to the figs before the next guy, often times agreeing to share. Our tree is looking a little spent by now, so much activity, so much production. All that is left to do is a full shedding of her perfect leaves that we can mulch her roots and others around the yard. If this is not the giving tree, then I don’t know what is. Today I toasted her with a fig smoothie.
