Our fig tree

My FIL has a few fig trees,that have matured in the last few years. My DH, along with many others in our family and friends, love the fig trees. After some research, I found that fig trees can be grown in containers, and brought in during our cold winter to be dormant but not freeze. It was a great surprise, and he is now uber excited about his "fig farm"- because he is who he is and of course wants five more : 0
This is a pic of a few of our baby figs. It tickles our Italian American family roots, and those of our neighbors as well. So we're celebrating our heritage, while putting our NY-American, living in a townhouse, spin.
I plan to take a photo every few weeks to document our new venture.
