I tasted fresh figs for the 1st time in my life and wow! So delicious! Where in DC can I purchase? I go to Mom's and Yes Organic frequently and have never seen them.
TIA! |

| I've bought them at Trader Joe's, Fresh Market, and Dawson's Market. Usually in early September, I think? They're definitely not available year-round. |

| Wonder if we were at the same party with the guy super into figs encourage everyone to try the different preparations. Now idea how I went 40+ years without eating fresh figs. Picked mine up at Fresh Market, they had 3 or 4 varieties, I got the black mission. Did learn I like them firm. |

| My backyard tree. It's loaded with figs. |

| OP, if you have space plant a fig tree. They are completely fuss-free and look beautiful even without fruit. |

OP here. Are you offering to share? If you are in DC or close enough to the line, I will definitely come take some. |

Thanks. My neighbor has one and this is the 1st year that fruit is growing. I'm going to ask her for a few. I did notice that the birds (large black noisy-crows?) love them so we may not get to enjoy them. I am considering adding a tree to my yard. |

I'm definitely sharing, but I'm in Loudoun County. |

| FIgs are like peaches in that they don't really travel that well. The store bought ones are often disappointing. |

| What do you do with them? I bought some from TJs and will eat with goat cheese on a sandwich. What else? |
