We've been blessed with peas, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, peaches, blue berries, corn, garlic, etc.
Now, we've even got some Figs. Man, just how good can it get?
These are tree ripe, soft, sweet, plentiful figs on trees maintained and carefully watched by Mike and Neda McLean here in Rye. They are large and firm and make the best jam and sauces you can imagine.
There are two trees and they are loaded. The Mcleans are just wonderful people and share. Their yard is a beautiful display of flowers, fruit trees and tropical plants that are ever blooming and ever producing fruit.
Mike loves his yard and it shows. While here in Rye he is constantly watering, edging and generally making his place look like a Souther Living garden area.
Neda is the support staff for old Mike and I think she may be in charge of planning and definitely supervision.
This particular day, Neda had just finished canning about 12 bushels of crowder peas. Both Neda and Mike are long time residents of the area and also enjoy time in the "city".
We just can't get enough of this country and area.
You come on down and see us soon, we'll share as well.
Thanks Mike and Neda, the figs are already in the jars.
