They are really bitter if they do not have large pink spots on them, but the bugs always get them first! <br /><br />They look beautiful in that artichoke bowl too!blydesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558844588004907328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930848372056876144.post-90406536153694485602010-08-11T19:40:05.267-04:002010-08-11T19:40:05.267-04:00Congratulations!

YOU, however, should be proud on several notes. Of course the figs look beautiful and yummy, and your presentation is stunning with the white artichoke and the glass vases with big, gorgeous leaves.

My Greek grandmother grew them and would bury the tree every winter. She would be smiling at your bounty, as I am. <br /><br />I was proud of my snap peas, until my then 3 year old went out and ate them all, right off of the vines and, for some strange reason, growing beets gave me a kick. <br /><br />Love your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930848372056876144.post-3245058919201340602010-08-11T09:59:21.483-04:002010-08-11T09:59:21.483-04:00You should be proud.

Right now I have 3 lemon trees growing in pots. My son and I took seeds from a grocery store lemon 1 1/2 years ago as a little science experiment.

I think next summer I'm going to do containers on my deck with fresh fruit trees.

Now, THAT's a whole other story, isn't it...?<br /><br />We grew corn and tomatoes once in the back when my son was around 5 or 6 and he had a blast with the whole process.
