Wow, a giant fig. I wonder what it tastes like when it's still natural fruit. I remember tasting it but it was preserved. all I can taste is sugar. Is that a lemon basil that green leaves besides?
I feel you with that baboons. I also struggle with the chickens here in my garden.
No, it's flowering peppermint. I trimmed the bush to make halloumi. It's such a pity you haven't tasted real fresh figs. They're amazing. The preserved stuff is totally different. As you say, all you taste is sugar.
Okay, I see,
How I wish I could taste it one day. I never know somebody who planted figs in my country the Philippines I guess they don't thrive here. Only I know those ornamental plants but I don't know those fruit-bearing ones.
