365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Figs!
If even half the figs on my Desert King tree mature, I will be a happy camper. It is absolutely studded with them! Right now, they're about the size of large peas, and it seems like every time I check, a few more have popped out. I had a good crop last year...just enough to keep me slightly over-figged if you take my meaning...and the friend who gave me the sapling years ago said that once they get going, they produce like mad. Hers is fifteen feet tall and at least as wide, and she gives away figs by the bushel. Two years ago, the crop was three or four. One year later, the harvest was a whopping 32 which came to full ripeness. This year looks to top that. In my book, figs are like raspberries: there's no such thing as "too many."
