I walked into my local nursery today, and they had a hardy Chicago fig tree. I was excited about it because we don't have any fig trees around here. It was the first and only one I have ever seen locally. I think the owner ordered some because I have been getting stuff for figs for a little while now.

When I was looking at the other plants a older guy can in and asked if they had any fig trees, which was odd because there not around here. The owner hesitated and looked at me so I told guy he could have it. The guy told me that he hasn't had any figs since he was a kid. He told me that where he grew up there were huge fig trees and he remembers all the kids would climb them to get the fruit.

So all in all it has been an odd fig day for me.

Happy 4th everyone be safe!
