An "Oh Oh" moment... An emergency in the Fabled Realm.

Already inundated with peaches to be processed for bottling. Half a bucket more arrived this morning.  Looks like we're about to be avalanched by Figs, our heaviest crop to date. Fig jam, jelly, Fig rolls. Syrop of figs. Nowhere for a "lazy"person to hide in our home, that's the way we like it.

The brown hen and her chicks have moved into comfy temporary quarters. Safe from trouble.Happy family.
Réglisse and his mate Noodle have become more like man and wife.They seem to enjoy each others' company. Healthy beasts.

 The sky's the limit.


 What going on here?


 I get it.


  Black fig ripe and ready for harvest.
 The " Oh,Oh " moment , a tree full ready to happen all together. There is another tree full to follow.


 The work is piling up. There will be six more large jars , maybe a cake or two.


 Pat de fruits, perhaps, tarts and crumbles...


 The birds love the seeds, bon apetit.


Russian Kale sees the light Leeks are cut back to fatten them up for winter.


 Eat your greens.


  Alban is most generous, he left some for us.


The bread's arrived, Thanks Marc.
