Oh, how very french of me.

I was not able to resist these FIG trees in our local garden center the other day. I had experienced complete childhood flashback, when my folks would load up the van and drive us kids to Provance for the summer. Oh, those Fig trees made me feel sixteen again.
 See, the area where I live now is graded zone FOUR for gardening, meaning whatever you plant will freeze and die till the next spring, thank you very much. I have been assured by the sales lady that those particular plants will definitely survive the harsh conditions, because were actually raised locally, all you do is to store them in the garage over the winter. We`ll see about that.
In the mean time I am patiently waiting for the fruit to mature.
