Hi Matt.  That is a great article.  I enjoyed reading it.  Thanks.

With some imagination, planning, and effort, seems there is almost nothing that people can't do.

Best wishes.

Thanks for sharing this article Matt. I enjoyed it. Seems that Mr. Vaccaro has the fig-fever like the rest of us. LOL.
I admire and share his determination to enjoy fresh figs here in cooler climates.
Nice that he visits Italy/family every January. Sounds like a good life.
